There are people who leave no one indifferent, and Cristina "La Veneno" is undoubtedly one of them. In a way, she embodies those mythical five minutes of fame that Andy Warhol predicted for everyone, although in her case, she multiplied them exponentially. With a brave and defiant attitude towards life, always ready to face whatever fate had in store for her, Cristina became an unavoidable icon of Spanish popular culture. Overnight, she went from the shadows to stardom, only to then, almost inevitably, face the harsh setbacks of fame.

La Veneno is a chameleon-like figure, capable of addressing, with her particular style and boldness, universal and controversial topics, from family and gender identity to plastic surgery, sex, and prison drama. Her life is the story of a transformation: from a young person who fled her hometown to reinvent herself as a woman, from a prostitute who saw her luck change completely, to a celebrity who, without having wished it, became a media phenomenon.

Cristina "La Veneno" embodies the contrast between deep Spain and the Spain of show business. In her body and in her story, tradition and modernity, the marginal and the popular, the ordinary and the extraordinary intersect. With a biting, sincere, and often funny language, she opens the doors to her life: an unusual life, unique like herself, full of melodramatic episodes intertwined with the brightest and also the darkest moments.

This book is a fascinating journey through the life of a woman who, unintentionally, became a myth. Through its pages, you will get to know Cristina, but above all, you will understand why now and forever, La Veneno is an immortal reference.
