- 2014, “Robasetas v.s. Meaplayas: la rivalidad entre vecinos, ¿basada en un mito o realidad?”, in Diario de Navarro[1], Especiales:
- Furtivos, ocultos en hayedos y pinares, los robasetas se adentran en el paraíso micológico navarro para esquilmar sus cotos de perretxicos, ilarrakas y el tan preciado hongo beltza. Principalmente guipuzcoanos, los robasetas no sacian su voraz apetito de recolección hasta llenar por completo su saco de tela, al punto de olvidar cómo regresar de vuelta al coche y, paradójicamente, ser rescatados por un navarro al que despojaron de las setas autóctonas.
- Furtive, hidden in beech groves and pine woods, the mushroom thieves enter the Navarrese mycological paradise in order to plunder their nature preserves of perretxicos, ilarrakas, and the quite precious queen bolete. Mostly Guipuzcoan, the mushroom thieves do not satiate their voracious appetite for gathering until they have completely filled their cloth bag, at which point they have forgotten the way back to the car and, paradoxically, are rescued by a Navarrese whose native mushrooms they are despoiling.
