Hoy os cuento la historia de Cristóbal Balenciaga
Descripción del Episodio
Through this podcast, in addition to learn Spanish, I would like to introduce you to some of the most important figures in Spanish history.
One of them, without a doubt, is Cristobal Balenciaga.
To be honest, I didn't know much about him until recently. A few days ago, when I was looking for a new series to watch with my husband, Disney + recommended this one:
Cristobal Balenciaga. I loved it and I'll tell you why:
- The photography is beautiful. Sometimes reminiscent of Popper's work.
- Tells the story of a character unknown to many. I knew the brand, of course, but I didn't know the story of the man, and I found it fascinating.
- You can see many of his designs in the series. They are real works of art.
- The actor has been a surprise for me. Alberto SanJuan is well known in Spain for doing comedy, but this is the first time I have seen him in a more serious role, and I was very surprised at how good an actor he is. He had to learn French and Euskera!
Sometimes my students ask me to recommend Spanish series. Of course I recommend this one, but you have to know that it's recorded in 3 languages: Spanish, French and Euskera.
Balenciaga was born and raised in the north of Spain, in the Basque Country, where Basque is spoken alongside Spanish. It's one of the five co-official languages in Spain.
He lived for a long time in Paris, where he became the king of haute couture. Coco Chanel and Christian Dior considered him a great master.
If you want to practise your Spanish and learn more about this artist, this episode is for you.
I hope you like it.

A través de este Podcast me gustaría que, además de aprender español, conozcas algunos de los personajes españoles más relevantes de nuestra historia.
Uno de ellos es, sin duda, Cristobal Balenciaga.
Si te soy sincera, hasta hace poco no sabía mucho sobre él. Pero en otro día, buscando una nueva serie para ver con mi marido, nos apareció en Disney + la recomendación: Cristobal Balenciaga. Me ha encantado, y te voy a decir por qué.
- La fotografía es preciosa. A veces me recuerda a los cuadros de Popper.
- Cuenta la historia de un personaje para muchos desconocido. Yo, obviamente, conocía la marca, pero no la historia del personaje, que me ha resultado fascinante.
- En la serie se pueden ver muchos de sus grandes diseños, que son auténticas obras de arte.
- El actor ha sido toda una sorpresa. Alberto SanJuan es muy conocido en España por hacer comedia, es la primera vez que le veo hacer un papel más serio, y me ha sorprendido mucho lo buen actor que es. ¡Ha tenido que aprender francés y vasco!
Muchas veces mis alumnos me piden recomendaciones de series para ver en español. Esta sin duda la recomiendo, aunque tenéis que saber que en la serie se hablan 3 idiomas: El español, el francés y el euskera.
Balenciaga nació y creció en el norte de España, en el Pais Vasco, donde además del español se habla también el euskera o vasco. Una de las 5 lenguas cooficiales que hay en nuestro país.
Vivió durante años en París, donde se convirtió en el rey de la alta costura. Coco Chanel y Cristian Dior le consideraban el gran maestro.
Si quieres practicar un poco de español, y saber más sobre este artista, este episodio es para ti!
Espero que te guste.

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
