Andrés Mourenza (A Coruña, 1984) is a Spanish journalist who has lived in Istanbul, Turkey, since 2005.
He currently works as a correspondent for the Spanish daily EL PAÍS and other Spanish media.
During his career, Mourenza has reported from Greece, Cyprus, Syria, Iraq and the Caucasus, covering a wide range of topics, from armed conflicts and political crises to economic policies and their consequences.
Migration has been at the heart of his investigative projects. His work "The Great Robbery" revealed that Greek security forces stole more than €2 million from refugees during the Evros border pushback. Another important project, "The Bankers of Irregular Migration", funded by Journalismfund, was shortlisted for the 2023 Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize and received an honourable mention in the 2024 Trace Prize for Investigative Reporting. In 2020, Mourenza published the book "Sínora", which examines the history of the Greek-Turkish border, one of the gateways for migrants and asylum seekers trying to enter the European Union.
