Sometimes, the stories that truly matter are not told in crowded studios or noisy newsrooms, but in the quiet corners of forgotten towns. Tonight, on Salvados, journalist Gonzo takes us to Ademuz, a small village in the province of Valencia, where time slows down and kindness still has a place. Here, he sits down with acclaimed writer Elvira Lindo, the creator of the beloved character Manolito Gafotas, and her husband, Antonio Muñoz Molina, one of Spain’s most influential literary voices.
This episode is not just television—it is an invitation. An invitation to pause, to reflect, and to rediscover the meaning of connection in a world that often feels rushed and indifferent.
Elvira Lindo speaks about her journey: from her early days in radio, her time in 90s television, and the creation of characters that still live in the cultural memory of Spain. Her words are gentle, her reflections deep, and her humor disarming. Antonio Muñoz Molina, on the other hand, opens up about his personal struggles with depression, his rediscovery of rural life, and the healing power of reconnecting with nature.
If you have ever felt the weight of the city pressing against your chest, this episode will resonate. And if you have ever longed for authenticity in storytelling, this is your chance.

From New York to Ademuz: Elvira Lindo’s Path of Creation and Belonging
Life often takes us far before bringing us back home. For Elvira Lindo, years in New York, Lisbon, and Madrid shaped her perspective as a writer and storyteller. Yet now, she chooses Ademuz—a place tied to her mother’s roots—where she finds what she calls “the kindness that no longer exists in big cities.”
There is something moving about this choice. It is not just nostalgia; it is survival. In a world dominated by screens, speed, and constant noise, Lindo reminds us of the quiet power of neighbors who know your name, of conversations that linger in the air, of the feeling that you belong.
In her discussion with Gonzo, she revisits not just her professional highlights, but also the intimate details of her personal life. From laughter to loss, from television scripts to literature that shaped generations, Lindo’s reflections remind us why storytelling matters—it helps us remember who we are.
And here is the conversion moment: you don’t have to be a literary critic to appreciate her words. You don’t need to know all the details of Spanish culture to be touched by the warmth of her reflections. You just need to listen.
👉 Don’t miss the chance to hear Elvira Lindo herself—watch Salvados live or on demand, and let her words guide you into a different rhythm of life.
Antonio Muñoz Molina: Writing, Healing, and the Return to the Land
What happens when a writer reaches the age of 68 and chooses to reinvent himself, not through fame or accolades, but by returning to the soil of his childhood? That is the story of Antonio Muñoz Molina.
In his talk with Gonzo, Molina speaks openly about the depression he has battled for over a year: “It is going to bed at night and not wanting to wake up in the morning.” His honesty is striking. Yet what makes this confession powerful is not just its rawness—it is the path he has chosen to heal.
By returning to the huerta, the family orchard, he discovers a therapy he once despised as a child. Farming, planting, touching the earth—what was once a burden now becomes salvation. “It is as if I had never left,” he says, and in those words lies a universal truth: sometimes the future is found by walking back into the past.
For viewers, this is more than just a biography. It is a mirror. We are reminded that healing is possible, that connection with nature matters, and that even celebrated intellectuals are not immune to the struggles we often keep hidden.
👉 This is why you should tune in: because watching Molina’s story unfold might just remind you of your own strength. Stream Salvados today and witness an honest reflection of life, loss, and resilience.
