For the last five years, this building and these views have been the accompanying element of my studies. Endless hours of study, stressful presentations, stretching deadlines and long classes, this building held it all. Very iften, when the days stretched a bit too long and sunset would come, there would come a moment in which, no matter the situation, I would stop a moment and enjoy the colourful skies visible all around. As the end of my studies here approached, one more long night of work was necessary, and the sky lit in colours one more time, to give one more break before the end.

When it comes to talking about places in Barcelona that bring back good memories, the Maremagnum area definitely has to be mentioned. Back in my childhood, I used to spend exceptional afternoons there with my family, visiting the aquarium or the shopping mall. And I say "exceptional" because, at that age, going anywhere beyond my neighborhood already felt like a great family trip — even more so if it involved a unique place like a mall.

As I got older and was able to explore the city on my own, I started going there more often with friends. We would enjoy the large open spaces around the shopping center, playing football or just relaxing on one of the terraces.

In all of those memories, the best part was always the sea. Being located right at the port and with a drawbridge at the main entrance, the whole area felt like a little island to me.

Finally ,even today, every time I pass by Maremagnum, i remember those moments , feelings and persons that made that place special for me.

He recorrido muchas ciudades, he visto muchos atardeceres. Pero jamás he visto uno tan bonito como los que veo en mi lugar seguro, mi hogar. Todas las tardes solía salir al patio para poder admirar semejante obra de arte, son unos colores que me dejan sin palabras y con una sensación y sentimiento que no he vuelto a sentir en ningún lugar por más bonito que sea. Es por eso que cuando pienso en tranquilidad y paz, pienso en los atardeceres de mi lugar seguro.

Mystical element is the sun

ardent and hot like only himself

sometimes cloudy, rainy and doubtful

sometimes strong, firm and secure

Orange, yellow or light blue

whatever you want to be

how and when you want to

no questions, no doubts about yourself

Just wanting to want to be

to grow, to believe

to live and feel and laugh

to sometimes cry, but always rise

Shy, alone, unique being

furious and fearful

how could it be

Alone, tender, alive, he is red

the slow world passes at his feet

without grudges nor fears

no doubts, no rush, no breeze

only him

Soon I dream, I live, I believe

to go beyond to a future thing

a dream and a feeling, and a laugh

here and there he has to come

Sun:

even in your absence you leave light,

your peace, your place, your solitude

even in your absence you are present

with hot brushstrokes captured in steam

Calm, smooth, intact water down below

with no worries, no memories to flow

fluid it dances and elapses here and there

being, seeing, hearing, going where?

Colored mist that attracts, what do you hide?

captivates, embraces, overwhelms

the secrets of heaven

ephemeral, agile, soft as the wind

Furtive, fleeing time that escapes at birth

where have you gone? where have you gone?

at the beginning or escaped suddenly to the end?
