The foundation and applications of the Barcelona Catania Paris Madrid (BCPM) energy density functional are briefly reviewed. BCPM uses a paradigm more rooted on density functional theory and fits most of its parameters to sophisticated microscopic nuclear matter calculations. Finite nuclei are accounted for by introducing a direct finite range surface term, spin orbit potential, Coulomb interaction and pairing. Applications of this functional to the calculation of finite nuclei properties are presented as well as applications to the description of neutron star physics. The large number of applications discussed are possible because of the local character of the functional that simplifies enormously calculations in finite nuclei.
