Her performance as Maite Zaldúa in the TVE series 'Acacias 38' brought her national and international recognition, but she had previously participated in successful series such as 'Ahí abajo' and 'Goenkale'. Cinema, television, theatre, galas... and to disconnect... Bilbao and Bizkaia. These are actress Ylenia Baglietto's favourite plans for those who visit us.
FOR THIS AUTUMN, WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND WE DO IN BILBAO AND BIZKAIA?
In Bizkaia, I recommend visiting Urdaibai and in Bilbao, climbing Mount Artxanda on the funicular railway, taking a walk to enjoy the views and then having lunch at 'Txakoli Simon'.
YOUR FAVOURITE CORNER OF BILBAO/BIZKAIA AND WHY?
My favourite corner is Azkorri beach, in Getxo. I love to enjoy its views, the sea and the calm that you can breathe there.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF BIZKAIA?
What I like most about the people of Bizkaia is their authenticity, their ability to speak, and their passion for Athletic.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE JUST ARRIVED IN BILBAO, HOW WOULD YOU PRESENT THE CITY TO THEM?
I believe that Bilbao is a city full of life, activity and a desire to welcome those who come.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE SUCCESS OF BASQUE ACTORS AT NATIONAL LEVEL IS DUE TO?
We have a large theatre and audiovisual industry here, which is creating a kind of 'quarry of Basque actors and actresses'. When you get work at a national level, you usually have been working here for years and that is very much appreciated.
WHAT HAS MOST MARKED YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER (CINEMA, TV, THEATRE, GALAS, MUSICALS), BOTH PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY?
I love falling in love, getting attached to and learning from each and every one of the characters I play because I believe that each one of them brings something to my person.
But I will highlight three:
The first is 'Nina' from Chekhov's 'The Seagull' which won me the Ercilla Award for Best New Actress. The second is also 'Nina' but this time from the show 'I am Pichichi' which I play with my partner, Lander Otaola.
And the third is 'Maite Zaldúa', my character from the TVE series 'Acacias 38' which has made me jump to the national level and become known internationally.
