Aria Bedmar on the Future of “Maitino,” Married Life and Civil Rights

Here at What About Dat? we’ve written a lot about Maitino. We’ve written about the world of the Maitiner fandom, and we’ve talked to Ylenia Baglietto (Matie Zaldúa). But, as has been repeated ad nauseum these last two weeks, Maitino is not just one actress. That’s why we couldn’t wait to take a closer look at Camino Pasamar and the woman who brings her to life, Aria Bedmar. In a pleasant conversation, she told us about how it’s been to play this role, her wishes for the future of the character, and more or less what’s coming in the coming weeks. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Ylenia Baglietto sobre "Acacias 38," Maitino y Ser Una Bomba de Energía

No es ningún secreto que aquí en WhatAboutDat nos encanta la televisión en español. Desde Chile a México, de Argentina a España, si hay mujeres queer, estamos ahí con palomitas de maíz. Una de nuestras mejores elecciones en este momento, en español o no, es la historia lésbica de "Acacias 38", una telenovela española. "Maitino", el acrónimo de Maite Zaldúa (Ylenia Baglietto) y Camino Pasamar (Aria Bedmar), cuenta la historia de una artista y su joven estudiante que se enamoraron en la España de 1913.

Ylenia Baglietto on "Acacias 38," Maitino, and Being an Energy Bomb

It’s no secret that we here at WhatAboutDat love us some Spanish language TV. From Chile to Mexico, Argentina to Spain, if it’s got queer women, we’re there with popcorn. One of our top picks right now—in Spanish or otherwise—is the queer storyline on “Acacias 38,” a Spanish soap opera. “Maitino,” the portmanteau for Maite Zaldúa (YlePHOTnia Baglietto) and Camino Pasamar (Aria Bedmar), tells the story of an artist and her young student falling in love in 1910s Spain.
