10th of November 2007 was the most important landmark in my life, in our lifes. Julia and I were married in Torrent, her hometown. Well ..., it really was in El Vedat, who happens to be a poshy detached residential area, part of the Torrent thereabouts. There, at the heart of this neighbourhood, there is a hidden church which only appears to your sight after you have walked a few winding narrow streets. First you only see a tower outstanding the nearby chalets, and a few corners ahead then you suddenly discover the Iglesia de los Dominicos with all its greatness. There we got married in a majestic ceremony where basically we shouted a yes forever and bla, bla, bla, how personal!, and ... we were warmed by two excellent families and more than a bunch of very very good friends, all of them contributing to share a unique, unforgettable day.

Then it came the honeymoon. We did not have any disagreement in deciding that USA was the best possible destination, and, in particular, Yosemite and Grand Canyon were two unmissable targets given our interest for Nature. Further, san Francisco came as a natural choice as well and in fact happens to be one of the most beautiful cities in the whole country. Our friends at SF gave us a very warm welcome and that was also a key part of all. In summary, a perfect combination of wild Nature and city sightseeing. The result ... even beyond expectations!.
