SEBASTIÁN ÁLVARO

Sunday December 5 – 20:00 Euskalduna

This is the award for the defence and transmission of the social values of mountaineering. The journalist, filmmaker and mountaineer, Sebastián Álvaro was the creator and director of the famous television programme 'Al Filo de lo Imposible'(On the Edge of the Impossible). This documentary series changed the conception of adventure and mountaineering in Spain. More than the 200 expeditions and 300 documentaries done by him, have made “Sebas” to be one of the people who has made the most trips to the most inhospitable places in the world. He is also the author of almost 20 books on mountaineering. Throughout the last 40 years, 'Sebas' has been and is one of the main disseminators, of all times, of these values, associated with mountaineering, being understood as a school of life.
