Autobigraphy

I was born in a small mountain village in the north of Aragón. I was the youngest of four siblings and part of a large extended family. My parents both worked long hours in the village shop, and up to the age of five I was looked after by my grandmother. I went to the local primary school, an when I look back on my childhood I remember it as a memorable period.

At the age of twelve I was sent away to attend secondary school in Zaragoza. At first I loathed it and I was terrible homesick. As time went on, however, I slowly started to make friends and even enjoy school life.

After leaving school I got a place to study English and French at university, financing my studies by working in a restaurant at evenings. On graduating I worked as tour guide, taking groups of tourists round Aragon. While I was working on one of these trips I met Sarah, a biology student from Scotland. We kept in touch afterwards, and, to cut a long story short, got married two years later an she came over to Zaragoza.

Our long-term plan is to set up our own travel agency to take British tourists round Aragón, and I hope that in five years' time, I may have achieved this ambition.
