With a long professional career as a photojournalist during the Spanish Transition and various international conflicts, such as the Balkans, with important photojournalism awards, he was currently combining his professional activity with teaching in the Faculty of Journalism at Pompeu Fabra University.
I had the opportunity to personally meet Paco Elvira two years ago, on the occasion of a trip to Asturias, and there I began to learn from his professionalism and, above all, it allowed me to discover a great person.
Subsequently I have had the opportunity to meet Paco several times, who was also a colleague in the group of travel bloggers Travel Inspirers.

And in three weeks I planned to meet Paco again on another trip through the Levantine lands. I'll miss you a lot.
