Hi Galen, the question immediately suggested an answer: the Madrid mountains. It is a place with nothing particular, except that in that place was very special during my adolescence. I remember wonderful moments with my first love. It is a place I can no longer return to
About a place I can go back to, and connect with something special, I think the Swiss Alps or the Austrian Alps in spring or summer, are places I will visit again. They have a very special energy.
Mountains, I love going there especially if it's somewhere remote enough to dissuade others from making the effort.
I've had some experience with the Swiss and Austrian Alps so have to agree with you, amazing.
Yes, they are amazing places. Rocks, clean air, water and light. The four elements.
Perfect!
