The first word I learned to say is guaita. My paternal grandmother would take me for a walk in the trolley, and as we wandered around she would point at things with her finger and say: “Guaita Laia, guaita!”. She spoke a particular Catalan, she would say guaita instead of mira (look at). Guaitar means to watch carefully, analysing what is observed. Vigilant. Jo guaito 👀️

Bowing to the diverse grounds of Camino de Santiago, with dad


Last summer my dad and I walked the Camino from Santiago de Compostela to Finisterre and I forced him to bring his arms up, put hands on top of his head and bow to the grounds of this holy trail. This is a compilation of the photos we took doing the gesture together.
