Vintage.es copies pictures and stories from other sites, whole cloth, and passes it off as their own. Search for any story they post and you can easily find the original author.
Edit: indeed, the odds of this text having been appeared independently in two sources do appear rather small:

Unfortunately, vintag.es does seem to have done some work here - while they copied the text, they also added several more images to the single image in the original post.
