Apprentice profile

Born 1962 in a fishing village on the cost of the Basque Country of Northern Spain. I have an older brother and a younger sister. My parents had a restaurant since I was born and this was the profession I learned as I was not keen on study. My father and grandfather were musicians in the village band and there has always been music and good food around my life. I enjoy cooking for people and sharing a good evening dinner with red wine and passionate conversation around any table in any imaginable place. I love music in any form and enjoy it particularly when driving and watching the changing landscape. I like walking in places of natural beauty. I love watching birds, I find them to be the most extraordinary kinds of being. I enjoy classical music specially from the Baroque and Romantic periods. I love movies – good Western movies in particular, like ‘Tombstone’ and ‘Ride with the Devil’. I love watching horses galloping and want to be riding them. I enjoy comedies too. I love visiting farms or places where people produce different food and drink in their traditional ways: cheese, wine, meat, beer – and then taste them! I read biographies of musicians like Beethoven, Schubert, and Telemann. I like watching people: taking it easy; being open-minded; being kind to each other; being passionate and interested in life; and having a good sense of humour with each other. I don’t like to see anyone feeling like an octopus in a garage.
