Paco de Lucía Entre Dos Aguas Live

Here you are some of the Mediterranean sea. I guess you know where it comes from. Paco de Lucia was born in Algeciras, in the Giblaltar´s Strait, where the Atlantic and Mediterranean sea join and the distance between two continents is only 8 miles.

Tarifa town merge over the wind, mecca of surfing at Bolonia´s beaches. Involve there.

Aquí tienes algo del Mediterráneo. Supongo que sabes de dónde viene ésto. Paco de Lucía nació en Algeciras, en el Estrecho de Gibraltar, donde se unen las aguas del Atlántico y Mediterráneo, y donde la separación entre los dos continentes es de sólo 14 km. Aquello es un lugar especial, en Tarifa, la meca del surf, en las Playas de Bolonia.Más poético no puede ser el lugar. Así se respira allí.

"Stay Young" General MacArthur, 1945

Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair, these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust.

Whether seventy or seventeen there is in every beings heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement of the stars and the starlight things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events and the childlike appetite for what’s next, and the joy and the game of life.

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear. So long as your heart receives messages of beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur and power from the earth, from man, and from the infinite, so long you are young.
