Popular press

• I have a been a contributor since 2001 to Revista UD, the University of Deusto's quarterly magazine. I am currently the magazine's "Foreign Correspondent in the US" (don't take that too seriously ;-), and I usually write about my experiences as a Spaniard living and studying in the US. In the past, I wrote mainly on cinema and still contribute pieces on cinema, albeit less frequently.
