Teresa Benítez

Polish Spanish

She is a translator from Polish, English French and Portuguese into Spanish. She holds a degree in Journalism from the University of Sevilla and in Translation and Interpreting from the University of Granada. From 2004 to 2008, she lived in Cracow, where she completed a postgraduate degree in Polish Language and Culture and worked as a Spanish language instructor at the Jagiellonian University.

She has been working as a free-lance linguist since 2014, specializing in interpreting, editing, and the translation of technical, commercial, and literary texts. She has translated graphic novels, essays and prose.

In 2024, she completed a one-month stay at the Book Institute’s Translators’ Residence in Cracow, where she conducted research on Polish contemporary literary non-fiction, with particular attention to Chłopki by Joanna Kuciel-Frydryszak. This experience led to the publication of her Spanish translation in 2025 (Campesinas).
