How to avoid lightning strikes when going glamping?

Why a glamping tent’s structure shouldn’t be made of metal or carbon fiber?

A storm while being inside a glamping tent is not the best thing one would like to suffer when going glamping, but in case it happens be sure your tent’s structure in not made of any material that could attract the lightnings that can accompany a storm.

Electricity conducting materials like aluminum, or carbon fiber act as electrical poles of attraction for lightnings so this kind of materials can make a tent unsafe and should be avoided. Other materials like fiberglass are non electrecity conducting materials so they can be considered as materials safe for tents.

Before buying a glamping tent for your glamping resort you should checked that the struture of the tents you are planning to buy is made of non conductive materials, this will hel to keep your guests safer under the storm.

Paco Soto a reborn flamenco guitar player

Paco Soto dedicates his song “PACO” from his work “VIDA” to the famous flamenco guitar player Paco de Lucía

This afternoon, while I was seated relaxing a bit inside my glamping tent, before reincprorating to my work tomorrow Monday, I listened at the radio to the flamenco guitarist Paco Soto who has been selected to play with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Cologne next Saturday the 13th of October.

I was amaxzd by his impressive story, he has explained how while he was playing guitar, his left hand got paralyzed and he wasn¡t able to continue playing at all: a cancerous tumor had grown up inside him and had provocked him to have the half of his body paralyzed.

He also told how the day  was having a surgery to remove it, he said to his mother, “Before I enter the operating room I want to listen to Paco de Lucía’s Fuente y Caudal song, otherwise I won’t go inside”. His mother asked why and he said “Because for me is the LIFE”.


As the surgical operation was a success, he decided to publish a work entitled “Vida” (Life) presented past June and with its fith song “Paco”dedicated  to Paco de Lucia who he considers has saved his life thanks to his music.

Two weeks ago, the Paco de Lucía’s widow decided to lend the guitar of his husband to Paco Soto in order he plays it around the world.

As I was really moved by this amazing story and the simplicity and sincerity with which Paco Soto has told it, I have decided to share it with all of you.

Is glamping all that glitters?

Why I believe not everything that is called glamping should be considered us such.

I was trying to learn more about glamping resorts all around the world, so,  first of all I started to search woith the help of my browser “glamping” and “glampsite”, but I was a bit disappointed, many of the resorts that are using this words in their name have nothing to do with tents. Why with tents?, well, we shouldn’t forget the origin of the word, a combination of glamour and camping.

We all know that traditional camping concept is not glamorous at all for many reasons, if we talk about free camping usually we first think in a tent of “canadian” type: a gabled roof and two side walls not very tall, in general we remember when going camping was something that required spend te time in the tent bent like a japanese waving. In a tent like that it was not possible to stand upright, no very glamorous, and the space in a tent where we slept like canned sardines wasn’t either glamorous at all.

If we think about a campsite we will soon have in mind a site plenty of tents very close each to others and having to share bathrooms wiyh many other people. well, not much glamour really.

Then, when we watched once again one of those movies, Lawrence of Arabia, Out Africa..., most of us dreamt on going camping anywhere in a big tent like those that appeared on the screen, that was really glamorous!, even ome smaller than the one of Prince Faisal would be glamorous enough.

The glamping is a concept that has come to stay has everything that it is good of a tent but not the bad part of camping and also, in many cases what a hotel room could offer, but yes I believe that glamping has sense when it is about tents not wooden cabins, small apartments in the wild or concrete constructions inside nature, I wouldn’t call that glamping.

Ready for mushroom season?

Also a time for foodies while going glamping in the wild

In a few weeks our meadows and forests will start to be plenty of mushrooms.

While going glamping in the wild it is a good and healthy entertainment going to collect mushrooms.

One of the most exquisite ones is the scientifically known as Coprinus Comatus by its Latin name, but  this one is not easy to remember by non initiated people, so some other more common names have risen and this mushroom is also known as a shaggy ink cap, lawyer's wig, or shaggy mane.

When you find some of them you shouldn’t let them there for longer or shouldn’t have them for long at kitchen without eating them. You should try to eat them on the collecting day unless you are preparing them canned, in such a case you should dry them before. But if you let your just
collected Coprinus for a day or two, as well as if you come to the next day to pick them up, you’ll be surprised by their fast transformation in a black ink. Yes, you read correctly, ink! In fact, nazis during World War II mixed the Comatus ink with normal ink in order avoid being fooled by enemies with counterfeits of German documents. If they found Coprinus’ spores in the document while examining the ink under the microscope then they could be sure that it was a real one and not a forged document.


So be ready to eat your lawyer’s wigs and enjoy an excellent dish, but if you are not an expert or you are not sure enough, be careful! some mushrooms can be dangerous because of the poison they contain. The best advice is: ONLY eat the mushroom you are confident enough on it, either because you have the required knowledge, or because it is served in a reputed restaurant or sold in a store you can trust.

Is it possible to swift from architechture to glamping?

The success story of two Colombian architects  

Claudia and Benjamín are two Colombian architects who decided to open a new business apart from their architecture studio and to start a glamping adventure.

In Guasca, Colombia they had a beautiful land with a scenic view and they want to diversify their profesional activity, so they decided to install there a glampsite.

As good architects, they made a nice design of the resort, they took time to choose the right tents and they found Ctents luxury glamping tents while looking for tents in internet. As they wanted to check them before buying and they wanted to optimize their investment, they asked for help to the brother of him who happen to live in Spain, Javier went to check the Ctents with his wife while keeping a video conference thanks to her smatphone. This option let them to know in deep about Ctents and realize that they were the tents they needed, waterproof, wide inside, luminous and robust, perfect for the rainy climate of Guasca.

They prepared the glampsite in a record period of time and chose a very atractive name “Maloca Glamping” - Maloca is the name of an ancient communal construction in Colombia used by natives -, when they had it ready they started to offer the booking through social networks and other means.

They hadn’t worked before as innkeepers so they had everything to learn about, but they did their best and they find that their ability to communicate and to make public reltionships was quite good.
Soon the guests started to book and their pleasent stays were soon spreaded through word of mouth.

After a year of hard work, they are happy as they have succeed with their touristic offer and they are planning to increase the number of malocas, as they call the lodging tents, and they are already working on the extesion of the glampsite.

Congratulations!
