los ríos son pura vida / rivers are pure life

Growing up across from a lively train station near Frankfurt, my childhood was a vibrant blur of "colored trains." Each whistle sent me racing to the window, hoping to see a train splashed with a full spectrum of colors. My joy was boundless! As I ventured into young adulthood, I explored grand capitals—Moscow, Istanbul, Madrid, and Lisbon—soaking in rich urban artistry. This cultural infusion inspired me to organize a street art festival in La Bañeza, Spain.
