San Sebastian great summer scene!

Hello guys!
I've been having a summer very busy with different projects! I've told you already I'm working at the surf event, the Pantin Classic Pro, also been doing a few photoshoots for some clients, collaborations, and others.
July is a sweet month here in San Sebastian with a great agenda of concerts, expos and other cultural events.

We had at the Patagonia store the concert of my very good friend Johny Card. We used to work together at McCann Erickson and our passion for the ocean brought us together again.

My other good friend Mikel Casal had a very nice expo of his work at the Providence Ghètary gallery. He's a talented illustrator born and raised in San Sebastian. He draws most of the time on wood and he gets his inspiration from the ocean and his friends.

Jorge Hunt had his photographies at a sweet exposition at the Pukas Store also in July organized by Raen Optics. He not only takes rad pictures, but also has a band with his partner Margarita called "Dante place". We had such an awesome night, and to finish also that great weekend, we went to the Heineken Jazz Festival.
We attended some great concerts, but my favorite was "Vintage Trouble". All the band had great energy and they really made us vibrate!

Here are some of the pics I took in those events, I hope you like them. See more pics of these events at my Facebook fan page!

Collaboration Ale Romo X Havaiii.com

Today I feel so blessed and very excited to announce you my most recent collaboration with the guys of Havaiii.com.
Havaii is a clothing and accessories company inspired in the love of traveling and exploring new and exciting horizons. Just like me! That's why this collaboration was perfect match of what we are both doing in separate. Our seeking of adventure and exploring brought us together in this collaboration and we are both hoping that this work will inspire you to live your life by design, doing whatever you want to do while exploring this beautiful world.

From today I'm gonna be their ambassador, taking the brand to new adventures.
Appart from that, we will be doing a couple of things. The team liked so much my blog, that offered me to have my own space at their site to write about my adventures. The name of the blog will be "Tales of Wander" and will be under "Explore and Discover".
Among this, we will prepare a limited edition collection based on my pictures and some other interesting stuff I will tell you as things develop.

A while ago, when I knew about them, I got to read their Manifesto, which inspired me and hooked me in to collaborate with them. You will like it for sure.
Here it is:

"To the adventure seeking individuals, the global citizens guided by wanderlust, the forever exploring discoverers of our modern times. This is your community across continents, your belonging to global unity. This is your life of expressing who you truly are; expressing your unique self through style. A style inspired by the universal love for travelling this beautiful planet of ours and exploring the adventurous unknown.
This is your culture, your vogue. This is HAVAIII."

Shooting "La Bella Vita" in Hossegor

I spent one fabulous week in Hossegor, France working in some photo shoots for a client and friend. She has a wellness business for young and traveling people with a surf vibe too.

We stayed in TFR Hossegor surf house , owned by a very sweet italian. All his team and his clients are italian, which resulted in eating a lot of pasta everyday, great expressos in the mornings and tons of happy people around.

This are some of the pics I took, and soon will show you the ones I did for my client. Hope you like them!
