Óscar is a journalist and has been writing for the newspaper El País since 1998, where he currently coordinates the El Montañista blog. Between 2003 and 2013 he edited the magazine CampoBase and during those years he trained to obtain the UAIGM High Mountain Guide qualification. Since then, he combines both professions, which now complement each other, allowing him to try to find a way to find time to escape to the mountains.
