About the author

Ocaña describes growing up in Zuheros, a small town in Córdoba, where his father cultivated his love of nature, before later moving to the city. The site links to one of his books on Amazon but does not identify the title in the available material.

Social media

The blog maintains Instagram at @joaquinocanaortiz and a Facebook page named El Naturalista Descalzo.

The dated posts and named sections make the site primarily an author-led publication, with social channels extending its essays and recommendations.
