España insólita
"España insólita" is that different, unknown and humble Spain that does not appear on postcards or tourist itineraries. Aguirre embarked on a trip to the most remote villages of the country to witness the existence of a legend, an ancient custom, an unknown dance.

"Toros tres as Pasajes tres, also bases his visual game on a counterpoint. Toros de Guisando, Goya, Picasso, in a way, they come to tell the story of the people who have been contemplating them through the centuries ... / ... I would say that more than a story of bulls, this excellent short film is a history of the Hispanic gaze" Mario Benedetti
Homage to the basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida.
"It's a perfect movie. Apart from the beautiful in the purely plastic, there is an inspired poetic creation in each of the planes and in their intelligent conjunction. And it has mystery. and continually play with the surprise factor. You never know what will come after. As if it were a suspense movie." Rafael Alberti
"Flights…One of the most import ports in Spain. People… Antxo, Donibane, San Pedro. Homes with tradition, parties, streets, port workers, women salting fish, mending fishing nets…" Javier Aguirre
"Tiempo de playa" above all. There is my whole world, all my sensitivity, all my now frustrated adolescent desire. It seems as if a time were repeating to me where the shore was not a limit and where fantastic Grandville landscapes were built on the sand. All the beaches in the world are unpublished. Something hinted Tati, and now Aguirre, of that otherworld of them. I only ask Javier to persevere in building on the sand that civilization of taste, that subtle touch to erotically enjoy them" Luis G. Berlanga.
