Published in Madrid, Anoche Tuve un Sueño is a respected Spanish cultural magazine known for its focus on positive journalism, social awareness, culture, and international dialogue.

The issue in which the interview appeared also included contributions by prominent international voices, including Noam Chomsky, reflecting the magazine’s commitment to thoughtful cultural and social discourse.
Photo Essay: Bhutan
The interview was accompanied by a photo essay featuring images taken in Bhutan, documenting everyday life and spiritual traditions in the Himalayan kingdom.
The photographs portray moments from monasteries, village life, and encounters with monks, children, and local communities. Rather than staged scenes, the images capture quiet, spontaneous moments that reflect the rhythm of daily life in Bhutan.
Through this visual narrative, the photographs explore themes of human connection, spirituality, and cultural continuity, presenting Bhutan not only as a place of remarkable landscapes, but also as a living culture shaped by Buddhist traditions and strong community ties.
The photo essay formed an integral part of the feature, offering readers a visual perspective on Bhutan’s culture and reinforcing the interview’s reflection on photography as a medium capable of giving voice to people and places often overlooked in global media.
