Demoparty: Posadas 2023 (Spain)

'jojo073' Gonzáles tells us - the French magazine BOING interviewed him in its fifth issue and has now published this interview in Spanish - the demo party was first organised with numerous competitions in the 1990s and was brought back to life a few years ago after a long break.
