About Alfonso Jiménez

Alfonso Jiménez
What’s the craic? My name is Alfonso Jiménez. I was born in Cádiz (Spain) and I was living there until I was 17. Then, I moved to the Andalusian town of Triana, in Seville (Spain), where I was wasting 3 precious years of my lifetime studying engineering. I then moved to the beautiful city of Barcelona (Spain), which I enjoyed a lot. Then, I moved to sunny grey Manchester (UK), where I’m working between cottage pies and cheesecakes.
