After a time away from the media spotlight, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero once again captures all eyes after his reappearance last Tuesday during the presentation of a book and his mediating role between the government of Pedro Sánchez and that of Venezuela. A return to the media and political scene that once again focuses attention on the former president and his life.
Considered one of the most influential people in the Socialist Party, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero left La Moncloa almost 13 years ago, however, He remains closely linked to politics. Of course, although present in presentations and events of his party, always in the background. A discretion that I abandoned a few days ago, also focusing again on the reserved private life he shares with his wife, Sonsoles Espinosa, and his two daughters.
The discreet life of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his wife, Sonsoles Espinosa
It was in 2004 when José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero became President of the Government after winning the general elections. A position that focused all eyes on him and his family life, which he kept away from the media during his two terms in office. His wife, Sonsoles Espinosa, has always been with him, who despite her husband’s position, managed to keep her life discreet.
Graduated in Law from the University of León, she met José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in 1981, during her time as students, at a demonstration. On January 27, 1990, they married in the hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Sonsoles, in Ávila. Sonsoles Espinosa’s great vocation has always been musicfor which she worked as a school teacher and has focused on her career as a soprano.
Although Sonsoles made few public appearances last year, José Luis Rodríguez showed his love for his wife upon being awarded an Honoris Causa Doctorate by the University of León. A stable relationship that the couple lives in a luxurious house that, after years of enjoying it as a rental, they bought in 2019.
This is José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero’s luxurious two million euro house
It was in 2012 when, shortly after leaving La Moncloa, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his family They settled in a spectacular 400 square meter house. A home located in the Madrid neighborhood of Valdemarín, in Aravaca, next to the Zarzuela Hippodrome, for which, as revealed ‘The World’the politician He paid about 3,000 euros per month.
Seven years later, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Sonsoles Espinosa bought the property, at a fantastic price. And, although at that time I was valued at 1.5 million euros (a value that currently reaches 2 million euros), The couple paid less than 800,000 euros.
“The couple has bought with double advantage. On the one hand, because The sale price they have achieved has been the one that was asked for the houses in the time of crisisand on the other hand, because from that price they have deducted the total of the fees that they have paid during the years that they have been renting,” said the aforementioned newspaper.
Thus, currently, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero lives with his wife and one of his daughters in this luxurious three-story semi-detached house and with luxury finishes. A house that has three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, private elevator and a terrace with impressive views of the Madrid skyline where there is a swimming pool.
With a modern design that combines concrete with high-end carpentry on the exterior, the home has a private garden, paddle tennis courts in common areas and important security measures.
Of course, this is not the only property of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. Among others, the former president He also has a nice house in Lanzarote. A town that, as ‘El Debate’ revealed, is valued at 1.2 million euros and acquired it in 2017 “asking the bank for a mortgage of only 295,000 euros.”
This house is located in the municipality of Teguise and has with an area of 1,329 square meters distributed on a single floorwith living room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large terrace, garden and pool.
The business success of Laura and Alba, Zapatero’s unknown daughters
As we said, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has always kept his private life away from public life. A discretion that was only lost in 2009 when his two daughters, Alba and Laura, accompanied him to the United States, where they posed with the Obama family. A photo that was distributed to all the media and that aroused all kinds of comments and criticism, causing the snapshot to be removed.
Since then, Hardly anything has been known about the lives of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero’s daughters. Of course, in addition to enjoying discretion, Alba and Laura also succeed in the professional field.
In 2019, Alba, with a degree in Digital Audiovisual Communication and Performing Arts from the European University of Madrid, founded ‘What The Fav’, a marketing agency focused on the e-sports business which is defined as “an e-sports, creative and multimedia agency. Pioneers and creators of marketing strategies inside and outside of electronic sports. Our mission is to help companies consolidate their brand and provide support in the world of e-sports.”
Along with Alba, CEO of the company, is her sister Laura, as joint administrator of the company that has worked with important brands, achieving excellent results. This is shown by the last financial year presented by the company in the Commercial Registry, corresponding to 2022, in which it registered income of 301,191.70 euros.
Some good results from the company of the daughters of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero who also does business in Venezuela with ‘El Server’, a company that recently required the services of Alba and Laura’s company to fully enter the electronic sports market.
