We get many questions from our viewers around the world. Below we have published some of the most common ones so you can learn more about our project.
If you still have any questions, you can send them to weloveyou@vidaavela.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
By chance, just like the great things in life. Some time ago we started digitizing old 8mm videos that were getting lost and were part of our personal record. We decided to publish them on YouTube to share them with friends and without expecting it, thousands of new friends began to follow us and encourage us to continue. Today we have already published more than 130 episodes and 8 seasons that are available on Vimeo On Demand or YouTube.
We are citizens of the world, born in Catalunya and living in the Mediterranean Sea.
We sail a NAUTICAT 35 of 10.70 meters length and 3.5 meters beam, Estella shipyard of Finnish origin. It is a classic Nordic motorsailer design manufactured in 1987.
We wanted to start by sailing in our sea, the Mediterranean Sea, on a calm journey falling in love with the diversity of the landscapes, the many villages, the people and rich culture. Before considering other seas and oceans, we would like to be able to sail this beautiful sea entirely.
The Mediterranean area has a very varied climate with very distinct seasons. We sail about 6 months a year when the weather is good. We spend the rest of the time editing and producing our movies.
This project is fully funded thanks to all the friends who have decided to support us through PATREON, with the profits obtained from our MOVIES, with the DONATIONS through this WEBSITE and through the YouTube advertising.
It is a project that is becoming true thanks to all of you. We invite you to visit the Support this Project section for more information.

This project is governed by our love of freedom and YouTube imposes absurd rules that do not allow, among other things, the use of images that show nudity. Some of our videos have been removed, so on YouTube we only publish a short and adapted version of the original movie. On Vimeo On Demand you can find the full movie, which lasts 30 minutes, and you can enjoy it without any kind of censorship.
You can see our companions, Fosc and Ona, in several episodes. All those who have had dogs will know that what a dog wants the most is to be with their owner all the time. So they are happy to be on board, close to us, and have adapted perfectly to life on board. Recently, Ona passed away, she was old. We miss her!
We keep renewing our recording equipment to be able to improve the quality of our movies because the sea environment spoils them easily. We use Nikon and Canon cameras, several GoPro, and also a Drone.
Some of our favorite places are:
- Illetes and Espalmador, Formentera.
- Archipelago of Maddalena Island, Sardinia
- Egades Islands, Sicily
- Pontine Islands, Italy
- The Gulf of Girolata, Corsica
- Es Trenc Beach, Mallorca
- Cala Calobra, Mallorca
But this list could be endless, the Mediterranean never ceases to amaze us!
This is a personal project based on our experience as a couple, so we invite you to join us through our movies and content that we share with so much love in this space and our social networks.
In the Extra section you will find the playlist with the tracks of our Episodes, also, at the end of our videos, you will find the list of authors and artists, we love to support independent music.
