Iñaki Gabilondo is a reference for a good part of society and, especially, for the tribe dedicated to journalism. Not only because we associate his image with the night of 23-F, when he appeared on screen for the first time to read an agency teletype announcing the…
Lesson in journalism from one of the great masters of the profession in Spain.

In 1973, the advertiser Lluís Bassat was walking down Consell de Cent street when, at the height of the Sala Adrià, which was run by Francesc Mestre, an exhibition by Serra de Rivera caught his attention. Inside awaited Bañista, an enigmatic painting (the naked figure of a woman in a flooded room who sinks an arm into the water that reaches halfway up her leg) that not only stole his heart but changed his life. That afternoon he not only left with the canvas under his arm but also with 35% ownership of the gallery (he later convinced seven friends to acquire another 35%), and until 1980, when it closed its doors, they organized more than eighty exhibitions. “There I began to get to know the artists; and with my wife, Carmen, we bought one or two works from each of them. And so, almost unintentionally, we built a collection that today has more than 3,000 works.”

“My last days as a professional I have spent in a team. It has been an incredible privilege and an honor. A thousand thanks to the team. Now it’s your turn. The reality is that one never wants to reach this moment. I am not tired of playing tennis, but my body has reached a point where it no longer wants to play tennis. I feel privileged to have had this career longer than I would have imagined,” said Rafa Nadal on November 19, 2024, after Spain was eliminated by the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup.
