Nr 155
November-December
2017
We are not a communication media about the political reality, but it seems that creative mysticism has conspired so that the cover of this issue of Neo2 reflects the moment we live. On the one hand, our number 155 is published. We do not have to say the connotations that this figure has right now. And, on the other, the actress Paz Vega is the protagonist of this edition. Inevitably both elements, 155 and Paz were to live together within the 27.5 by 21.5 centimeters that has our cover. Do you need more arguments to buy a copy of an issue that is already cult? If so, keep reading:
