Biography
Ónega was born in Madrid on 30 November 1977.[1][2] The daughter of journalist and speechwriter Fernando Ónega and Marisol Salcedo, she received a journalism degree from the Universidad CEU San Pablo in Madrid. She is the sister of fellow journalist Cristina Ónega.

In 2004, she started a literary career with her short story Calle Habana, esquina Obispo, and followed it up with Donde Dios no estuvo, based on the 2004 train bombings. Her greatest success came in 2017 with the novel Después del amor, set in the Second Republic.[3]
