PalmShe was more into Blur than the Spice Girls; more into Oasis than Britney Spears (although she did play the occasional song by both). The explanation is simple, and anyone familiar with the scene will understand: when she started going out on weekends, she frequented the Plaça de sa Pobla bar, a hangout for young people from Sa Pobla and other nearby towns. Within the walls of this bar, Magdalena Serra (Sa Pobla, 1983), a journalist and presenter of the program... Now we're going From IB3, she danced to the songs of Blur, Oasis and REM, and made the song her own. At dawn From "Los Fresones Rebeldes" (The Rebel Strawberries). They sang it at the top of their lungs with their friend Maria Bel Cladera, who gives us a glimpse into the journalist's childhood and adolescence.

As a child, she stood out for her looks: fair skin and a face covered in freckles, with long, curly, dark brown hair. In addition, her mother always dressed her in fashionable clothes and kept her well-groomed: "She was like a doll, always very well-dressed and put together. This made her vain: when she was a little older and my mother would pick her up to go for a walk, she'd have time to chat with her parents," says the friend, who knows for a fact that this "hasn't improved over the years."

Magdalena Serra and Maria Bel Cladera have always lived on the same street and gone to the same school. Cladera, speaking from experience, recounts that Magdalena was a little doll with boundless curiosity, "interested in everything that was going on around her, she asked for a lot and wanted to know everything, she was very affectionate."

As a young girl, Magdalena took rhythmic gymnastics classes, but the demands of the sport didn't convince her mother, who enrolled her in basketball instead. It didn't last long, although she returned as a teenager, along with Maria Bel: "When we were in 3rd or 4th year of ESO (secondary school), some classmates asked us to join the basketball team because otherwise they would lose it. We had no idea what we were doing, but we signed up. It was one of our own: Palo and Sopa de Cabra (a Spanish comedy show) in the locker room, we trained three times a week, and we were teenagers, which meant there was drama and intensity everywhere," she recalls.

Aside from her basketball days, Magdalena also enjoyed dancing: "She was signed up for it as a child and danced for many years. She had two peasant dresses: one for changing clothes and another for more popular dances. She shared this hobby mainly with her mother, though."

Maria Bel describes Magdalena as a friendly, cheerful woman who always has a smile on her face; she doesn't recall a single argument or fight: "She has a very good character, but she needs to trust her to open up: she needs to get to know you. When there's trust, you can talk to her about anything." However, she does have a flaw or two: "Her favorite pizza is Hawaiian, and she drank Malibu with pineapple until she was 30." It's okay, Magdalena. Maria Bel still sings to you. Don't go far away, far away is too far for me!
