GOLFER´S JOURNEY
Le Château Montebello  - Patrick Monney

Le Château Montebello

Located in the hills that descend to the great Des Outaouais River, only 120 kilometers (74 miles) from Montreal, we found a golf course where nature plays with the greens. It is specially charming to play nine holes hidden within a beau- tiful forest where the green tones of spring dazzle and the colors of fall light up the scenery.

Isla Guadalupe, white shark territory

When we hear the word ‘shark', we feel scared; we imagine this beautiful animal as being evil and that waits for humans to enter its domain to attack and bite chunks out of them with its powerful jaws full of sharp teeth. Much of these feelings are due to the box office cinema productions such as ‘Jaws’.

Manuel Pujol Baladas

Each brushstroke in the work of renowned Catalan painter Manuel Pujol Baladas mirrors not only the artist’s personal talent, but also deep feelings and experiences.

For this reason the artist considers the act of painting to be a state of impersonation where people stop being themselves and suddenly become artists. ‘The advantage that we have as painters is that everyone dares to paint”, he says.
