As a war correspondent for La Voz de Galicia, he covered conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Congo, and Libya.

During his stay he interviewed the Taliban, future suicide bombers, and accompanied American soldiers who operated in the same areas as the Spanish into combat.

In September he returned to Baghdad, where the American troops were no longer there; and in October he traveled to the jungles of the Congo, entering the mineral markets and the "frontless war fronts."

Beriain was murdered in Arli National Park on April 27, 2021, along with cameraman Roberto Fraile and conservationist Rory Young, by Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) militants.

They were filming a documentary about poaching in Burkina Faso, when they entered territory belonging to Al Qaeda and shortly after militants blocked their path and opened fire on the convoy in which they were traveling.
