Where do they go? What do they learn? What do they gain from it? Each person's favorite place – to get lost in, spend time in, work in, or even live in – is explained by intimate and profound reasons. Experiences that, possibly, take root in childhood; others are born from impressions awakened by certain landscapes, silences, mysteries, or subtleties that reveal the reason for an attraction. A person's connection with a space they feel is their own activates an inner pulse. An office where ideas turn into realities, a sea that evokes pirate stories, rocks bathed in colored water, depths and sea distances that revitalize, a street steeped in history, and that first place that sparked a vocation that became much more than a profession: these are six life stories shared by well-known personalities from the country, revealing the extent to which the place they return to is important to them, the lessons they draw from it when they are there, and what they take with them simply for being there.Lluís Llach, singer-songwriter

“I am from here and I have it very clear”

“This is where I learned to swim with my mother”, recalls the singer-songwriter Lluís Llach. With towels in a basket, that woman ahead of her time – she had studied to be a teacher during the Republic and, at a time when almost no one had a car, she even knew how to drive – often accompanied her son to the beach of l’Estartit, with the Medes Islands in the background. A corner of the Empordà coast with a sea full of pirate stories that fueled the outings of that child and where he would continue to go, also, as an adolescent. His friends beat him at swimming, but he always surpassed them underwater. “I knew how to relax submerged, which is very important”, he assures. With his father, on the other hand, he didn't come as much. “He was a doctor and couldn't afford to go to the beach”, comments Llach as he admires this “curious” place that appears before his eyes as a “living horizon” of geometries and contrasts.

That Iñigo Martínez fell in love with FC Barcelona is evident, and there are several signs that confirm it. A single image, a gesture, or a word is enough to prove it, and the former Basque player has shown on several occasions that his short but intense spell at Can Barça left an important mark, both on him and his family. He left Catalonia last summer to start an adventure in Saudi football, but Iñigo continues to leave small gestures in the land that welcomed him. Among the most remembered from the past is the image that went viral: during the celebrations of the last League title, he waved an Estelada flag from the open-top bus that paraded through the streets of Barcelona to celebrate the titles of League, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup won last season. A gesture that, beyond the controversy, was as sincere as it was assertive, and for which it generated much buzz.
