Imagine leaving everything and moving to an island you’ve never seen before. This Spanish cutie left his family, the “Olé’s”, “los toreros” y “las tapas” for the “mofongo” and the Caribbean flavors of our tiny island. This “madrileño” came to Puerto Rico because he wanted to party and discover our island’s culture and beaches; but at the same time, came to study Aerospace Engineering to the most prestigious college of agriculture and mechanical arts of the Caribbean, our UPRM.
