I am an immigrant In spite of having Spanish nationality since always thanks to my father was born in Ribadumia, Pontevedra; I am and I feel immigrant. However, what we often overlook, is that every immigrant carries the heavy burden of being an immigrant too.

Making the difficult decision to leave the place that saw you grow up, without knowing what fate will bring, is perhaps the bravest and most desperate act a person can commit.
