Sahrawi dancing

This is a people who are dying of thirst; they want to drink the sea but they don't let them. Are doomed to the sand, to the dust of oblivion and they walk as one walks in the desert, slowly, to nowhere, because the only oasis where to bathe your dreams dried up is 40 years.

Tras la estela de Saint-Exupéry

A few years ago, still in the spirit and psyche remains disrupted by the hell that he had contracted malaria in Brazil two years earlier, I decided to embark on a journey to the coastal desert of southern Morocco, Atlantic shores ranging from Agadir to Tarfaya, the old Cape Juby, where he would be stopping, in their night flights, the plane-mail that pilot and writer who was Antonie de Saint-Exupéry.

Erg Chebbi Dunes: the home of the Berber

In southeastern Morocco, on the border with Algeria, is one of the doors of the Sahara, Berber land. It is without doubt one of the most beautiful places I've encountered on the planet. A perfect evening, sitting on the dunes. The photos speak for themselves.
