今天我去淡水區。很漂亮！它有西班牙歷史！

Sketch from Tamsui, a coastal district from New Taipei City. The Spaniards arrived there in the 17th Century so I guess there is a connection (I was born in Spain!).

Dibujo de Tamsui, un distrito costero de Nueva Taipei. Los españoles llegaron aqui en el siglo XVII asi que imagino que está conectado de algún modo conmigo (nací en Barcelona!).
