Sorry to disappoint you, but I was born in Berlin and only live on the Canary Islands since five Years now.  I just had to leave Berlin by that time, too much stress and too many people. I love the tranquillo livestyle here and the possibility of mountain biking, surfing and swimming all year long aaannd the very friendly people. Modelling wise it's muy desperado, but that's why I'm here on LSM .
I have never been to Pamplona, but visited San Sebastian and Bilbao in Basque and some other places with brutal waves on the northern coast of Spain. Yeah, I understand your grandmother, I do lots of risky sports, but running from a mad bull is not one of them .

Cheers Rob

It must get pretty hot there in the summer (and winter!), how does that affect your painting?

In the moment it's actually cold and raining . Sure there is no snow and ice, but as you live more outside and the houses and heating possibilities are quite different from lets say Germany, the felt temperature can be really low. I'm living on the northern side and 600m up, that means it's at least five degrees colder, than where the tourists are. Berlin is warmer in the moment and was often in the last year, but I wouldn't go back.

As for painting the world looks good here, clean dust free air, except in Kalima times. Not much static, because humidity tends to be a little higher. I'm not that much affected by temperatures in my mancave than by distraction. If the waves are good, I'm in on my board or biking or whatever. Living here is more like doing the right thing at the right time.

The worst time of the year is spring, cold and wet, winter might be cool sometimes, but there is more sun, very clear air and bright Colours.
