BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
BREAKING
NEWS from las Alpujarras >>>> At around midday we were
playing tennis in Pampaneira when we saw some blazes up in the ravin
between Bubión and Capileira. The fire has affected mainly Capileira
because of the wind, but thanks to the helicopters, planes, firefighters
and people helping, it seems it is beginning to be controlled after
nearly ten hours (now it is 9 p.m.).

Bubión is a little village in the mountains in the province of Granada in an area called Las Alpujarras and has just been given the quality award of Cittaslow for the quality of life its inhabitants can enjoy in this place close to Heaven.
"Bubión is ideally located on the gorge of the Río Poqueira and below the peaks of the Sierra Nevada, offering spectacular views. It
is full of Moorish features – narrow, winding streets, flat roofs – and
has already been designated as a Conjunto Histórico Artístico, a region
of special artistic and historical importance. It is thought to
have been founded in Roman times, and has plenty of evidence of life
before the Moorish invasion of the 7th century. Under the Moors,
it was under the authority of Ugíjar. In the 16th century, after the
fall of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs, the village participated in
the rebellions by the Moors (or “Moriscos” – Moors supposed to have been
converted to Christianity). In the second rebellion, which
started in December 1568, Bubión was one of the first villages of the
Alpujarra to fall to the Catholic forces, after a major battle in the
Poqueira valley. Following their defeat in 1571, almost all
Moriscos were expelled from the province of Granada. They were partially
replaced by Christian settlers from other parts of Spain. The
most prominent building is the village church, built in the 16th century
and remodelled in the following century. It is a simple structure in
the mudéjar style."
A nice presentation of the area >>>>
