For a number of unwanted reasons, including a delightful unexpected strike by the French airspace controllers and the surreal unforeseen management of the airlines in general I have already landed (quite literally 😉) at Ste. Marie.

|

Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines 20/06/2018
Finally and despite what it seemed the first days, it will be a good Show for the novelties, mainly Moroccan, although many of these novelties will not be seen by the visitors, either because they have been sold entirely or because those who have them prefer to show them in privacy.
Surely we will see them soon online and, physically, I'm sure we will see them later at the Munich Show or at small local Shows that take place before Munich.
| Description: |
As has been said so many times before, Ste. Marie is unique.
From the same Show you can see mountains with cows grazing and you can even hear the braying of donkeys.
Its privileged geographic position allows that so special communion with the Nature. |

Maybe this is just an impression but the alleys were less crowded this year than in 2017...

The Prestige Exhibition was carried out by Alain Martaud.
The theme this year was "Fantasmineral: collectors’ dreams‘" - a short-lived museum dedicated to the collectors’ dreams and their mineralogical fantasies.

Continuing with my beautiful relationship with the French airspace controllers, this time I returned to Barcelona from Ste. Marie late and in very bad shape 😡
Let's see if little by little I can go back to my normality and this weekend I can publish more photos and comments...
