Arriving with the a group of 22 people organised by TEDX Palma we were full of anticipation because we knew this was going to be a tour of a lifetime. We were to be guided by Professor Ignacio Martinez who has spent more than 30 years involved in the digs on this site. To hear his experiences and see the smile and twinkle in his eye that only one has when one is at the heart of something quite spectacular and groundbreaking for Humanities understanding of were we have come from was for me an unforgettable experience of a lifetime! He also came with us to the museum of Human Evolution in Burgos and showed us what he and the team he has collaborated in for so long has been involved in! What a rare privilege for me!! Invest a day with a good lunch in between at Brassero and Use the guides be they real or audio at both the site and museum and you will have given yourself a whole new perspective on what is is to be human and live today!! We are very privileged creatures with a great responsibility as custodians of Earth and all living creatures that live here!!
