The last few months have been hectic at the Sagrada Familia. On February 20, Gaudí's temple reached its peak with the placement of the upper arm of the cross of the tower of Jesus. A cross that was visible weeks later, when the coverings were removed and which was fully completed less than a month ago, with the installation of the gauge that decorates the structure with six red lights to make it visible for air traffic. But while everyone was watching the movement of cranes and scaffolding, in one of the basilica's towers there were other novelties: the pair of peregrine falcons, which for two decades have been the only inhabitants of the Sagrada Familia, saw two chicks being born.

Oriol Alamany (1958) has traveled across Arctic landscapes, mountains, and deserts around the world to photograph the wildest nature, often in extreme conditions. His work, which has helped to describe the lives of animals such as the snow leopard, the Etosha elephant, the brown bear, and urban falcons, has been published in prestigious magazines such as National Geographic and BBC Wildlife.
