The Sofia hotel hosted the 19th edition of the International Solidarity Sports Dinner (EIS), a gala organized by Josep Maldonado and which on Friday awarded the writer and Paralympic athlete Irene Villa, the athlete Àlex Roca and the missionary Lilián Omari. More than 500 guests applauded the performances of Gipsy Kings, Tamara and Chico Castillo that night.
Irene Villa, with several golds in adapted alpine skiing, will celebrate the first year of engagement with David Serrato in May. “Except for my father’s hospitalization for pancreatitis, it’s been a wonderful year: my children, David, my books… And skiing. Tomorrow I’m going to Sierra Nevada, which I continue to train”. 2024, a leap year, will give you luck for your wedding.
Cayetano Martínez de Irujo has a long career in horse riding – he comes from a competition in Vejer (Cádiz) – and values ??running for the presidency of the Royal Equestrian Federation. The solidarity side also fills it, even if it is less known: “I try to follow my mother’s example”. The Duke of Arjona has hosted families from Syria, Afghanistan and Africa. “These are things that are not said”.
Justo Molinero takes the opportunity to remind his former friend Isabel Pantoja that the doors of Radio TeleTaxi are still open for her: “Isabel, if you read me, come to the station to present your new album”, invites Hospitalier. Miriam Díaz Aroca is all happiness, because her facet as an emotional coach is going strong and because in a few days she will celebrate 30 years of her shared Oscar for Belle époque, a night when she was able to kiss her idol, Clint Eastwood: “He was staring at the back of his head and he turned. I walked through the crowd and asked her in English if I could kiss her. And it happened”, she explains amusedly.
