Nacho Dean
The 1st and only person in history who has traveled around the entire world on foot and connected the 5 continents by swim. Beyond the feat, what is really important is the purpose for which he undertakes his expeditions: the conservation of the environment.

- Between 2018 and 2019 he completed the Nemo Expedition, a challenge that has led him to join the 5 continents by swimming to launch a message of ocean conservation.
Author of 2 books: Libre y Salvaje (Planeta publishing house 2017) and La llamada del océano (Planeta publishing house 2020).
Discovery Max Awards 2014 finalist / Nominated to Princesa de Asturias Awards 2015 / Commemorative Medal of the city of Málaga 2016 / Talentia Award of Culture and Sport 2019.
