Volteta al Castell en equinocci de tardor

Overview

Climb to Sant Ferran Castle. 13 minutes from home. Walk around. Count the steps and recall the conversations with Vicenç Pagès i Jordà. It's getting dark soon. Autumn has arrived and some home —neither far nor near, on the horizon— is smoking. Think about time. Remember, not without a certain fear, the ephemerality of it all. Answer a WhatsApp. Feel a treacherous chill. Surrender to the weight of nostalgia. Down in the city center, your friends are waiting for you on a terrace, at a random table made of frosted aluminum in Plaça Triangular. And you look north one last time. And you think of Canigó, but also of Gran Jonquera. The text is taken from the opening of "La mort i la primavera" (El Club Editor, 2000 edition).
