Special thanks go to my co-editor and friend, Silvia, for her extraordinary dedication and generosity. This volume can only be dedicated to my colleague and friend María Jesús, for everything she has taught me throughout these years as a teacher, as a colleague, as a friend and, especially this year, as a brave woman.
