Led by the General Inspector of the Army, Lieutenant General Manuel Busquier, and the General Secretary of the General Inspectorate of the Army, General Antonio Bernal, our partners were able to discover different rooms of the Captaincy.

On October 17, the colloquium dinner with Josep A. Pujante and David Ruiz took place at Círculo del Liceo, in which both speakers explained their extreme experiences as mountaineer and sailor, respectively, as well as the impact these have had on their day-to-day.

During the question time, the attendees were able to learn the most interesting and enriching details of the exploits of Dr. Pujante and Mr. Ruiz.

Josep A. Pujante, doctor, mountaineer and writer, was the second person in history to summit the seven highest peaks of the five continents and both polar areas (the Seven Summits). Founding member of Sport Cultura Barcelona as president of the Barcelona International Panathlon, he dedicated himself to neurosurgery, later to hospital management and is currently director of International Relations and Health Cooperation. He was distinguished with the Olympic Order of the IOC.

David Ruiz has sailed across the Atlantic five times and has circled the world alone in a four-year journey, which he now narrates in the book "Irse". An industrial designer by training, he immediately became interested in the world of creativity, communication, advertising and graphic design.
