About me
“More than twenty years taking care of people: as the owner of restaurants and catering and events companies, and managing event venues and small boutique hotels.”
Today I don’t run any rental. I spend that time writing down what I learned welcoming guests, so you can have it at hand and make it your own.
I’m David Ángel, and this is Soul & Sense.
