On February 8, 1976, he arrived in Barcelona, fleeing the Argentine dictatorship, and in the Catalan capital he was successively photojournalist for the daily El Correo Catalán, the magazine Cambio 16 and photo editor of Primera Plana. He later co-founded the newspaper El Periódico de Cataluña, where he was editor-in-chief of photography, editor-in-chief of the magazine Interviú and also worked on the editorial staff of the newspaper El País in Barcelona until its editor Antonio Franco, of sad memory, fired him because of his independence of opinion in the publication of a photograph of the then President of the Generalitat, Jordi Pujol Soley.
