Pablo Amor is a Spanish writer living in Madris, and gets easily amused by all things cultural, be it movies, books, music, or videogames. That’s the reason why after getting a degree in Economics, he moved on to Journalism, writing for many different outlets, ranging from magazines and papers (GQ Spain<>/i>, El País, Cinemanía) in his own country to websites like this in the States. He plays bass in a band called Delco, drives a Smart ForTwo, is paying subscriptions to The New Yorker, Time, The Economist and Wired, and hadn’t learnt to swim until last year.
