“I ran to call the director of Man (the magazine where she worked) to tell her that she had to be interviewed,” continued Juan del Val, who soon received the yes from his boss. “The next day she called me and she told me that I had to interview her and From there a chase began to interview this Nuria Roca that he never wanted to give me the interview, so one day I appeared on Spanish television to look for it.
