Beyond the ocean

With a backpack and four rags you went across the globe. Beyond the ocean. You had a month to breathe, to forget what's out there as it gets discovered. Disconnect – in the broadest sense of the word.

Once there, you'd spent a couple of nights in a deep valley, you'd lost yourself in the jungle for four days, and when your lungs allowed you, you climbed four thousand meters high to travel through the most amazing places you've ever seen. The month of August was enough to triple the little time spent all the course without stitching the eyes to the mobile screen.

He searched for a connection from time to time. The balance that was conveyed to you by familiar voices. To be aware of the closest ones, when the trip started he was already sick to confirm that his grandfather’s situation had not worsened, to send a photo to someone who wanted to spread his envy. To know that everything was fine, to make sure everything remained the same.

Every time
you had a connection, another attack.
And another one.
And another one.
Summer is over, you knew it.
It didn't surprise you.
But once you take the distance,
things look different.

Everything remained the same and in the park of Etxebarria in Bilbao an 18-year-old girl was raped by a group of six men. And a few days later the San Sebastian Pirates had to suspend the program all day for all the sexist assaults that occurred during a night. Subsequently, a rescuer working in the same city was the victim of an attempt at sexual assault by a woman. And that in Levante a man had shocked the abortion of a young woman. And they arrested a man who recorded with his mobile images of 555 women on the Madrid train wagons and hung them on pornographic websites. And in Vitoria-Gasteiz, a 17-year-old boy was arrested for assaulting his premium, only 6 years old. And in Bilbao, a man who promised two removals for kidnapping, insulting, beating and raping a woman for five days was arrested. And on the walls of Deba, among other demands, they appeared painted against feminism. And that the mayor of Hondarribia tried to argue the need to change the hours of the non-exclusionary alarming.And that a woman reported having been raped during the Larresoro festivities.

Every time you had a connection, another attack. And another one. And another one.

Summer is over, you knew it. It didn't surprise you. But once you take the distance, things look different.

No wonder that on the return trip you made an eight-hour scale in Mexico, where a few days before the women took to the streets and said with rage “enough.”

Pictures of Porcelana Irabia

I had a friend who worked at Porcelana Irabia until they closed, and every time we went to a restaurant or a bar he looked at the mug and the ass of the dish to find out where the piece was made. I do the same thing when I go to the fairs of old things: I look where it is made,... [+]
