PROFILE OF THE MONTH (PREVIOUS)

Pedro Caparrós, Life measured to the millimetre
Pedro chose a Saturday and the little coastal town of Agua Amarga, in the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata (Almeria), for our appointment.
-
Alfredo Miralles, a family man
Life is made up of phases, and the phase that Alfredo Miralles (Monforte del Cid, 1973) is living through now is devoted to his children, because he acknowledges that between the ages of 15 and 35 he did nothing but work.
-
Miguel Sanchis, sport running through his veins
Miguel Sanchis Alcamí, who has recently turned 55, was born in the historical city of Sagunto. He is married and is the father of two teenage daughters that often keep him awake and worried when they arrive home in the small hours.
-
Juan López
Juan López was born in the same land as the actor and director Paco Rabal, in Águilas (Murcia) in 1967. His family, as did the family of his famous counterpart, came from the country village of Cuesta de Gos.
-
A self-made woman
Extrovert, lively and a whirlwind. This is the best description of this slight woman. Inma Torregrosa, an erupting volcano. I met up with her in the middle of the campaign and her telephone did not stop ringing.
-
Aboard the Star Mizy
We chose a bad day, a day with strong gusts of a westerly wind that later veered round to the east. However, the experience, although short, was worth it. We sailed out a few miles from Puerto Siles while our interview took place.
In 1956, Vicente Bayona Pérez was born into the heart of a family that had been devoted to the citrus fruit growing business for almost a century, in Quart de Les Valls (Valencia). -
‘Backpacking’
Not everyone knows what it takes to sleep 100 metres away from an American black bear and not be attacked. Michael Brinkmann, the new CEO at SanLucar, does.
-
No beating around the bush
Ill at ease talking about his life, it took me months, or rather, years, to convince him. In fact, I gave up and one Friday I caught him off his guard and he agreed. Finally, I arranged to meet him at La Monacilla de Aljaraque golf club (Huelva).
-
A discreet man
His elegant bearing, along with an air of shyness, gives him a definite air of aloofness, but this is far from the truth when you get to know him. He is a discreet, very sentimental person. We have often seen him with tears in his eyes when he talks about his family or his company.
-
A bird’s eye perspective
Joan Serentill (Benavent de Segriá, 1960) has had his pilot’s licence for over 30 years and flying, along with golf and skiing are his favourite hobbies.
-
Savouring life
Félix Moracho is an easy-going, articulate man, who speaks knowledgably and swears at just the right moment in the conversation. He invited me into his office for a short presentation and in the end my recorder showed an interesting chat lasting an hour and 50 minutes. On finishing, he handed over the CDs by the latest guests at the Huercasa Country Festival: The Mavericks, Sam Outlaw, Ryan Bingham and Whitney Rose.

Like a fish in water
Fabio Zoboli was born 48 years ago in Módena, but he lives in Cesena, a city on the Adriatic coast. This allows him to enjoy his hobbies, water sports: surf ski, canoeing or standup paddleboarding. My interviewee has the particular bearing of an Italian. That little something which turns them into elegant men with just […]
-
Toni García, the will to succeed
Toni (his real name is Jesús Antonio) is married to Pepa, who is also an executive at Consum. Born in Cuenca 46 years ago, his feeling of being a Valencian runs so deep that, following his land’s tradition, he is in charge of cooking the paella on Sundays. And if that is not enough, he […]

Laurence Maillard: living with passion
In all likelihood, I would not have interviewed Laurence Maillard if a young, 18-year-old girl (Laurence herself) had not fallen in love at first sight with Arsène, an engineer 30 years her senior, whom she met at work and with whom she has shared her life ever since. Laurence was born 57 years ago in […]
-
Enrique Guío: hitting the bull’s eye
Enrique Guío is 43 years old and was born in Madrid. After over ten years of being a biker, he left his Kawasaki behind and took up a new hobby, archery, which he has been practising for over three years now. A film-lover, he says he likes films that are not too intellectual and confesses that he went to see ‘Star Wars’ the day after its premiere.
