FIS World Snowboard Championships in La Molina
I love winter sports, not because my family almost every winter took some time off to ski in some far-out resort, but for the opportunity the season provides to reestablish the bond with the nature in the mountains and enjoy the exhaustion, breathing fresh air, surrounded by snow covered pine trees. In northern Spain there [...]

Rugby: CRC Madrid Offered Blood, Sweat and Tears to beat AMPO Ordizia 27-23
Recently I started to regularly follow the matches of the spanish top rugby division known as “División de Honor” at Valle de Las Cañas stadium in Pozuelo (Madrid, Spain).
