The favorite of… Isabel Jiménez
‘It’s very entertaining, Clara Lago is phenomenal and we must support Spanish fiction’
“I’m going to recommend one of the last series I’ve seen, ‘Clanes’,” he tells us. Isabel Jimenez. “It’s very entertaining, Clara Lago is phenomenal and it also shows a little about the intrigues of drug trafficking in Galicia. It’s very good and we must support Spanish fiction,” continues the journalist, who also declares herself a fan of IntervÃas and its protagonist, José Coronado, “always.” If we talk to him internationally, he highlights The Bear because “it is very well done and the acting of the cast is wonderful. And on top of that I am very foodieso I love that moment of getting into the kitchen.” And he admits to having “gotten hooked on Emily in Paris. It’s very easy to see, short, and I don’t have much time. I’m not going to say what it is Sex in New Yorkbut it has the setting of Paris and powerful ingredients, even though you cannot classify it as one of the series in our history.”
