Adela was born in Bilbao, Spain.
As a teenager, her favourite TV programme was Pilot Guides with Ian Wright – and she always dreamed of becoming a TV presenter. Ten years later, whilst working as an assistant producer, she met Ian Wright in person – and her wildest dreams came true.
Adela graduated from the University of Navarra, Spain with a bachelor’s degree in Audiovisual Communication. She then moved ‘down under’ to Australia where she lived for over a year whilst studying a postgraduate degree in Documentaries at the Victorian College of Arts in Melbourne.
After returning to Spain in 2004, Adela was selected to enter a Discovery Channel competition for young documentary filmmakers called Reel Race. Competing against five other contestants, she made six mini documentaries in five weeks, travelling through The Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Macao and Papua New Guinea, working entirely on her own, to a very tight budget and an equally tight deadline! She won the competition and worked for Discovery Networks Asia in Singapore for two months. Since then she has been working as a producer on history, travel and social documentaries with both British and Spanish crews.
Adela has done a lot of travelling visiting most of Europe, Northern Africa, Tanzania, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, and Argentina. She also spent three months surfing along the Eastern coast of Australia, Fiji and Brazil.
