Social Life

I keep extraordinary memories from these award ceremonies and the perpetual suspense waiting for the name of the winner. It is also the place of reunion with old friends. I have been attending about 20 years and I'm always eagerly awaiting this date with the theatrical world. 

I've always felt linked to Mayte Commodore, first with the great Mayte and then with her son Luis and his wife Gemma Aguado. Each invitation from Mayte is a luxury and synonym of glamour.
