He is finishing a geography and history degree at the National University of Distance Education (UNED).[citation needed]
Writing career
[edit]Barrancs's first successful book was a wildfire-fighting handbook, Manual de Lucha contra Incendios Forestales. Distributed in 2018 by Amazon, it became a best seller in Spanish several times.[citation needed]
In 2023, he published Grandes Liadas de la Historia (Great Mess-Ups in History), a humorous and sarcastic book about various historical disasters, released by Caligrama.[1] After three editions, the book was re-edited and republished by Singularidad in 2024.[2][3][4]
