The husband and wife team of Antonio Sánchez Gómez and Mercedes Junco Calderón launched the publication with the aim of adding some sparkle to their readers’ lives. Always positive,¡HOLA! and HELLO! continue to remain true to the guiding principles of a new type of journalism - always positive, highly visual and celebratory, allowing readers a moment of escape into the worlds of the rich and famous to inspire, brighten and entertain.
