Fortunate with our experiences<\/h2>\n

We are lucky guys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A long tiime ago at a conference I was told that we should look for work in something that we were passionate about.<\/strong> And I, who worked in marketing and sales departments of multinationals at that time. I said that ok. But that work was work. That work cloiuld be many times painful and boring.<\/p>\n

Well, over the years I found an activity that pleased me a lot. I enjoy greatly with the visit of wineries and as much with the complementary activities that were proposing.<\/strong> Those activities we proposed seemed attractive to us and also for those who came with us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bird watching<\/h2>\n

One of those complementary activities to the visits of the wineries that we propose is the watching birds and activities with birds as falconry. There are beautiful places for doing such activities while you are visiting areas like Ribera del Duero, La Mancha, and Avila.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We <\/strong>are also fortunate to have a very special expert bird whatching guide.<\/strong> The first time we hired his services, he surprised us a lot when he told us that he, as an expert in birds we could ask him anything we wanted about the matter. That he would answer to us if he knew about it. But if he did not know he would invent the answer but that he would do it so well that we even did not notice. I laughed out loud when I heard him. This kind of approach Works for him but not for me. Much less when I see that when someone asks me something and then just they look at Google t oread Google version. I think I can not compete with Mr. Google’s knowledge.<\/p>\n

I will tell you about two different experiences we have had in La Mancha in the past.<\/p>\n

Experiences in La Mancha<\/h2>\n

In one of them came we brought some visitors of Hong Kong, to La Mancha, first to El Toboso, where Dulcinea del Toboso was born. In some of the streets of that town, you can read how a few words of the different chapters of El Quijote (it was an impressive experience). From there we went to see the windmills of Campo de Criptana and from there we went to a place where we could see a lot of birds. Our guide came very well prepared. He brought binoculars for each one of us as well as a powerful telescope. It was unforgettable. Have a look at the enclosed video. Don Quixote windmill<\/a><\/p>\n
