This professional, born in the capital of Gran Canaria and with a childhood shaped by the municipalities of Gáldar and Guía, has built a career in optics and optometry, a demanding discipline within visual health sciences. After training in Alicante and specializing in Madrid, he returned to Gran Canaria to apply his knowledge, co-founding Claravisión in Arucas and later in Gáldar, with his partner Alberto Díaz.
His professional approach focuses on visual function, refractive correction, and ocular health studies, utilizing advanced technology to provide comprehensive diagnoses. Furthermore, he has specialized in visual therapy, especially for children, being considered a leading expert on the island due to his dedication and patience.
“"It's not just about seeing well, but about how we see. Accommodation, coordination between both eyes, the efficiency of the visual system in daily life. Reading, driving, working in front of a screen. Everything is part of that mechanism that often fails without the patient knowing exactly why."
Beyond his professional life, this expert shares his passion for local gastronomy. For breakfast, he recommends La Churrería de El Fondillo for its churros and sandwiches, Restaurante Esterlizia in the north for its tortilla skewer, Cuvee 25 in the capital, and Calma Café in the south for its 'triassant'.
Regarding lunch and dinner, his preferences include Restaurante Esterlizia again for its homemade daily menus, Restaurante Ciudad de Arucas for its product-based cuisine, and Restaurante San Lorenzo in Almatriche for authentic Canarian dishes. He also highlights Restaurante El Mercado in Arucas, La Dehesa de Triana for its cachopo, and Deliciosa Marta for its steak tartar. For Japanese cuisine, he mentions Yoshihiro Sushi Bar in Telde and Fuji. Finally, in Sardina de Gáldar, he recommends La Pizarra Sabores del Mar, and in the capital, La Bodega de la Avenida.
For those with a sweet tooth, his essential stops are Pastelería Almíbar and Pastelería Caprichos in Arucas, Dulcería Colomar, Guirlache for its ice creams and tarts, Pastelería La Cerdaña in Tafira, and La Petite Merie. Among the Canarian products he values most are escaldado gofio, watercress stew, huevos mole, and Tirma ambrosias.
