"I rescued tadpoles and, many times, they became enormous frogs."

Barcelona"I was the happiest person in the world. I felt so free and connected to nature." She would go out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The rest of the day she spent with the group she'd met there, enjoying the freedom she loved. "My parents were relaxed, and I felt like I could go anywhere on my own. We ate whenever we were hungry. They left me so free, and even though the ocean was nearby, it wasn't the same."

The river was the actress's favorite setting, which she will find this August in the comedy Do you want to sin with me? in Eixample Teatre and which you can listen to in the theatre section of The Intertwined on Radio 4. "One of the moments I always remember and that moves me is when I used to go playing in the river alone. I rescued tadpoles that were left in stagnant ponds. Then I tried to make them grow, and many times, they became enormous frogs," she says. Often, during her adventures, she would trip over a stone and end up soaked. "I remember that once my mother, after changing my clothes three times, told me that if I got wet again I should put my pajamas back on." Evidently, she did get wet again. "I suppose what my mother wanted was for me to put my pajamas back on and stay in the caravan so as not to upset her anymore," she exclaims with amusement.

If she wasn't in the river, she would cool off in the pool. However, on the slopes of Vallter 2000, the water was so freezing that visitors needed 10 minutes to adjust to get in. The exception was his grandfather Pepito, who would dive in headfirst, amidst the exclamations of the other bathers: "The whole pool would be like, 'Oh, my God, one day he's going to have a fit!'" He and Grandma Montse would spend the week with him, waiting for his working parents to arrive for the weekend. Now he returns with his children at least one week a year, and currently, it's the little one who hunts animals. "He loves hunting lizards, just like I do. It's very rewarding to do it with him now. I like the fact that they have that contact with nature and can relax and play, that we're in a place with so much oxygen, away from the city and the town. It's a very peaceful place."
