Great sentence.
Annotation: In Spain, Spanish has the compound preposition a por meaning "in search of", used mainly with verbs of movement like ir and salir. This expression is not used outside Spain, and many speakers consider it to be incorrect, and prefer to replace it with por alone. According to the Real Academia Española, there is no normative reason to condemn the use of a por. In some contexts, a por expresses a clearer meaning than por:
Subí por la escalera = "I went up the stairs" or "I went up the ladder"
Subí a por la escalera = "I went up for the ladder"
