Biography

On 5 May 2019, the program Charrín Charrán premiered, the first program in Aragonese on television, presented by Silvia Cebolla, where he participated as editor and reporter.[1] Although his leap to fame came when in October 2021 he began to publish a morning newscast from Monday to Thursday in Aragonese on Twitter, by being published on social networks his content could reach many more people, his first video reached 30 000 views and was shared by Ángel Martín.[6]
On 25 May 2022 the program A escampar la boira, a midnight program for Aragón TV, was premiered, where relevant personalities inside and outside Aragon are interviewed in Aragonese.[7][8]
