Selected press coverage of my professional work as a journalist
Interview with Irene Villa
“I need to give an accurate acount of what happened because memory is a form of justice”
"At a time when Spain’s recent history is once again at the center of public debate, Irene Villa revisits her personal story in her book Saber que se puede. First published in 2004 and later expanded, the autobiography recounts the ETA terrorist attack she suffered as a child in 1991 and her journey of personal and professional rebuilding. Over two decades later, the book — now in its fifth edition — continues to shape her public appearances and will be the basis for her talk on March 18 in Boadilla del Monte, part of the III Espacio de Talento series, a forum connecting young people with leading professionals from different fields.
Interview with Alessandra Aguilar and Carlota Castrejana
Alessandra Aguilar: “The evolution of women’s performance is faster than that of men”
Alessandra Aguilar, one of Spain’s leading marathon runners and now an educator, competed in three Olympic Games, Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016, and finished fifth at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow.
Carlota Castrejana, athlete and current CEO of the Spanish Athletics Federation, made history as the first Spanish athlete to compete in the Olympic Games in two different disciplines, basketball and triple jump, and later became European champion in triple jump in 2007.
The piece explores their sporting careers and performance in a sports industry in which medical research has traditionally been based on the male model.
Interview with Adri Soto
“Surrealism is also knowing that something conveys a feeling and enjoy it”
Actor, a cappella singer, and Madrid-based journalist, he is the baritone with contagious energy of the quartet Primital Brothers.
On Friday the 19th, the show Madness comes to the Teatro Salón Cervantes, telling the story of a surreal Black Friday in which shop window mannequins come to life to tempt a homeless man. Half concert, half social satire, the actors express themselves through Santiago Ibarretxe’s music, interspersed with songs by iconic artists such as Queen, Puccini, The Beatles, and Amy Winehouse. They sing a cappella flawlessly and perform using the group’s distinctive onomatopoeic language.
Primital Brothers, composed of Iñigo García, Pedro Herrero, Manu Pilas, and Adri Soto, have spent a decade touring stages across Spain and internationally, including Belgium, Chile, and South Korea. In France, they won the prestigious Avignon Off Theatre Award, and in Caracas, they received the keys to the city. With Madness, they aim to surprise audiences in the capital.
Interview with Ignacio Blanco
Speaker and former student of GSD Las Rozas who won the Spanish University Debate League (LEDU 2025), held in Vitoria, after reaching the team final representing Universidad Carlos III.
“In debate you win by being unlike everyone else”
At just 23, Ignacio Blanco was crowned winner of the 2025 Spanish University Debate League (LEDU) in Vitoria after reaching the team final representing Carlos III University of Madrid. His interest in journalism emerged during the Covid-19 crisis, and he is now looking towards Brussels, where he plans to continue his training with a scholarship from EFE News Agency. In the controversial final question that secured his victory, Blanco offered a lucid reflection on how identity-based feeling, placed above ideas of truth or justice, leaves us vulnerable and opens the door to being convinced by a skilled speaker.
