Fatima

Sharing "Fatima", a very short audio-slide show about a religious celebration in the tiny village of El Gastor in Spain´s Sierra de Cádiz, Andalusía.

Local women host the statue of Our Lady of Fatima in their homes every day of May, creating altars to place her on. Other villagers gather at the homes, sharing company and food.

Since today´s young aren´t interested in this tradition, this Our Lady of Fatima celebration from El Gastor, like many other traditional Catholic rituals, it´s likely to disappear with today´s senior generation.

Our destinies are forever linked

I want to share a new audio-slide show on bees. Millions of these life giving insects are dying worldwide, killed mainly by chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Here professional beekeepers in Spain explain the importance of bees and the problems these amazing insects face, and in particular, why our destinies are forever linked.
