A day in the sea, far away from home a little island is in the horizon.

Land to discover. Place with a small number of habitants but who is waiting for new visitors every day.

Breathe the clean air in the beach, see the blue sky over you head, walk slowly to the lighthouse, and there, take a book in the library and enjoy the moment of calm near the sea.

A beautiful sunset when the day is over is the best gift for the traveler, Alba Island is now in you for ever.

_____________________________________________

A procura dun lugar refuxio onde soñar, desconectar… albiscamos unha illa branca e refulxente como a aurora. É a nosa Illa Alba, hai outras illas, algunha do mesmo nome, todas elas custodian segredos e artellan historias.

Lugar encantado que agarda despois de longa travesía. Percorremos ducias de millas imaxinarias antes de chegar, as rachas de forte vento fixéronnos varar na praia. As ondas seguían chegando a area, moldeando os nosos corpos para fundilos e convertelos nun elemento máis.

Bancos de néboa cubrían a superficie. O faro presidía dende o cumio a escea proxectando a súa brilante luz. A súa presenza espertou en nós a curiosidade e a necesidade de calor. Camiñamos cara a construción milenaria que guiaba os nosos pasos para ofrecernos o que imos compartir.

Aquí facemos mención de algúns dos libros que alí foron deixando os seus habitantes, de variada procedencia. Tamén o escrito polas persoas que moraron ou pasaron pola illa para logo seguir outro rumbo. Se chega algunha botella ou pomba con mensaxe nós arquivámolo na biblioteca da Illa dos Sentimentos, Alba.

30. Smartphone, lights and shadows.

According to recent statistics There are around 2 billion of smartphones in the world at the present moment, but this number will increase in 2020 until they catch up the amount of the people on the planet. I´m going to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this technology in my opinion.
First of all, it´s necessary to recognise the main advantage that this kind of devices can offer  us like it has in one  electrical appliance tools  which before we had to buy separately (phone, digital camera, connexion to the internet without pc, etc.). Another special characteristic of a smartphone  with relation to previous cellular devices is that every customer can choose  those applications that need or create it and upload to the web store to be used by another users.
On the other hand we are talking about an expensive product, which can´t be bought by many people in the world, and whose raw materials like Coltan cause conflicts among the manufacturer countries because they are limited.

I think that a smartphone is a great tool but its production should be more sustainable and fair and its price cheaper than nowadays
