An author reflects on a personal encounter with a specific type of pine tree, known as the cypresses of José María Gironella, which occurred decades ago in a remote mountainous region known as La Sierra.
Initially observed in their natural state in the earth, the wood from these trees was later used in the construction of a local dwelling. Over time, the property has undergone management changes and is now operated as a rental listing on the accommodation platform Airbnb.
The narrative connects personal memory with the commercial evolution of rural architecture, tracking the transition of natural materials into a residential structure and, ultimately, into a modern tourism accommodation in the deep interior of La Sierra.
