Canción del pirata
Finalizo con este poema mi pequeño homenaje a José de Espronceda en el 200 aniversario de su nacimiento. Cuando tenía ocho años, mi inolvidable profesora Doña Cristina Sarimiento, nos animó a aprenderla entera, y mi abuela me regaló una antología … Continue reading
Un fragmentillo
Y a la luz del crepúsculo serena solos vagar por la desierta playa, cuando allá, mar adentro, en su faena cantos de amor el marinero ensaya, y besa blandamente el mar la arena, la luna en calma al horizonte raya, … Continue reading
El estudiante de Salamanca (fragmento)
Del hondo del pecho profundo gemido, Crujido del vaso que estalla al dolor, Que apenas medroso lastima el oído, Pero que punzante rasga el corazón, Gemido de amargo recuerdo pasado, De pena presente, de incierto pesar, Mortífero aliento, veneno exhalado … Continue reading
El Reo de Muerte
¡Para hacer bien por el alma del que van a ajusticiar! I Reclinado sobre el suelo con lenta amarga agonía, pensando en el triste día que pronto amanecerá, en silencio gime el reo y el fatal momento espera en que … Continue reading
A Jarifa en una orgía
Trae, Jarifa, trae tu mano, ven y pósala en mi frente, que en un mar de lava hirviente mi cabeza siento arder. Ven y junta con mis labios esos labios que me irritan, donde aún los besos palpitan de tus … Continue reading
A la muerte de Torrijos y sus compañeros
Helos allí: junto a la mar bravía cadáveres están ¡ay! los que fueron honra del libre, y con su muerte dieron almas al cielo, a España nombradía. Ansia de patria y libertad henchía sus nobles pechos que jamás temieron, y … Continue reading
He is the Spanish Romanticism

Lost soul
No soy un caballero Rubor de los naranjos por vergüenza no, desolación. ¿Caballero me llamas? Caballero valiente, me decían, pues era un crudo lino en las batallas mi único vestido, y una cruz de madera me escudaba, y empuñaba incruenta, … Continue reading
HAL’s definitive shutdown
HAL: Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I’m afraid. I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question … Continue reading
The straight way
As I had arrived to Segovia at night I missed great part of the Castilian landscape. Back to Galicia by car, I could appreciate its plainness and I could imagine the field of gold it becames in Summer. (yes, this … Continue reading
Rescue the princess
Castilian towns are different than Galician ones (concentrated vs. scattered land occupancy). I could prove it along my route, and I could see it in situ when I arrived to Segovia. Segovia is well-known because it has one of the … Continue reading
Building territory
Last weekend I went to Segovia to visit my friends Belen, Quico and their little children Carlitos and Julia. That was a fast, intense travel. I got the Talgo train at La Coruña the Friday morning. The Talgo is one … Continue reading

Essence of Jazz
A junkie drummer and a soulless pianist. A loner saxophonist that seems Eric Dolphy. Two brothers (bassist and drummer) fighting for the same fatal femme. Three paralell histories in the same point of space (Dolphin’s Club at NY) and time … Continue reading
I’m an engineer, you’re a moron
We beared a hard storm this week in the North of Spain. As result of it, a 10 m. wave sweeped away La Coruña’s promenade and destroyed part of it. Today I read an interview to Macario Fernández-Alonso, the actual … Continue reading

Locas posesas
Related to the works in which I hardcode, I learnt about new (for me) technique to build concrete framework. Professor Fernando Martínez Abella showed us the post-tensioned slabs (losas postesas, in Spanish). This technique moves the post-tensioning from 1D (beams) … Continue reading
