Sotogrande

Most of us, you know, who live here.

But it was nice, it was good and it's always nice to see people and people are really enjoying more and more Sotogrande.

At the beginning of the year we had a very, very wet Sotogrande.

Well, Spain, Europe.

And a very, very hot summer.

sure no no we should do um right from rubbish collection and all that sort of thing and uh you know you think am i making a difference it doesn't matter you make a difference you make it different your hair and your attitude and the sample for others yeah and living as

a community i think that that's something that also should be like uh you know and i also want to mention but specifically now that that we as a community are becoming bigger and more busy the whole year.

I think Sotogrande is way far more than the business of Sotogrande S.A., which is very important still and a very big part of the community.

I wanted to be with my children on that day, on that night.

So drove back, watched us lose on penalties, back to south of Spain, Sotogrande, and then went home, put the kids to bed, jumped back in the van and drove back to be back for the 9:00 matches the next day.

So, uh, sorry Adana Nova, maybe that is me with my trauma, my own personal trauma I've taken out.

So that's my first thing to take from that clip.

and here we are five years after

what brought you to Suriname in the first place because you're not Spanish you're not British you're I think Romanian you said yes yeah so what brought you here in the first place

my parents okay We moved here when I was eight years old.

Okay, so you're basically more Spanish than Romanian.

Me siento por la mañana-

¿Grazalema aquí en Sotogrande, la calle Grazalema o Grazale-

No, no, en Grazalema

...en Grazalema el lugar.

Guau.

Es que estamos hablando ya de, de nivel top en instalaciones.

Cuando se climatiza una piscina, em, que tenemos bomba de calor hoy que se pueden usar para, para hacer eso, ¿cuántos meses más puedes disfrutar tu, de tu piscina, tú crees, aquí en Sotogrande?

Todo el año.

This is a wonderful place, isn't it? It is.

It's become a place here in Suriname that people sort of precipitate to.

But before we get into that, how would you introduce yourself to someone who's never met you? I would introduce myself as

someone being eclectic, adaptable, very curious.

I get it.

I totally get it.

So you came to Sotogrande because you were working with them.

And it's a sticky place, as you described.
