A COCKTAIL OF TALEN T
His name is Miguel Ángel Silvestre, but for many, he is still known by the name of the characters he has played during his career. For some, he will always be ‘El Duque’, from the Spanish drama TV series Sin tetas no hay paraíso; for others, Alberto Márquez, from Velvet, or Lito Rodríguez, from Sense8. Behind his contagious laugh and the genuineness he exudes, is simply Miguel Ángel, the boy from Castellón de la Plana who wanted to be a professional tennis player, until his injuries prevented him from doing so. The lad who one day started studying physiotherapy, dreamed of becoming a model, and ended up studying drama in Madrid and going on to see his dreams come true. He started out doing theatre in Castellón in 2002, and in 2004, he had his first experience in front of the television cameras for the Spanish sitcom, Mis adorables vecinos. In 2005, his career began to take off, with his first leading role in the film The Distance. Two years later, his role as drug trafficker, Rafael Duque, in the series Sin tetas no hay paraíso, would bring him fame and awards in equal measure. Nothing would ever be the same again. Proposals from top directors for starring roles started coming in. In 2012, he recorded the film All Is Silence, by José Luis Cuerda, and I’m So Excited!, by Pedro Almodóvar. And in 2013, he signed up with the Antena 3 network to star in the series Velvet, which would become a worldwide phenomenon, reaching China and Latin America. A year later, he was chosen by the Wachowski sisters to make the international series Sense8 in the U.S., and in 2016, he participated in the Netflix series Narcos. In addition to his sporadic appearances in advertising, among his latest work as an actor is his starring role in the Spanish mystery horror series 30 Coins, by Álex de la Iglesia (HBO) and Sky Rojo, by Álex Pina (Netflix), and he has the world premiere of Money Heist coming up, while in Mexico for his new project, the series Los enviados, directed by Juan José Campanella. Over time, Miguel Ángel Silvestre has become a self-made man. Since he was a teenager and left Castellón de la Plana to go to Barcelona to train as a tennis player at the Bruguera Academy, he has been aware that success does not come for free, but is achieved with effort. It is not easy to keep your feet on the ground when your fans climb the walls of hotels to get to your room, or you get a call from Hollywood to participate in a casting. Yet Miguel Ángel has not only succeeded in doing this, but has also managed to preserve his essence. The public loves him and he lets himself be loved. His colleagues respect him, and his list of awards includes the Silver Biznaga for Best New Actor at the Malaga Film Festival, the Golden Palm at the Mostra de València for Best Actor and the Ondas award for his performance in Sin tetas no hay paraíso. Nevertheless, one senses that there is a lot more to Miguel Ángel Silvestre than he lets on. Fond of advanced mathematics, spending time with his loved ones, and sports, he can often be seen on Instagram carrying a surfboard. Exposed to more than three and a half million followers who celebrate all his professional steps, he chooses what he wants to post on social media and what he wants to keep to himself. Proof that the only requisite to enjoy continued success is talent. ■

SILVESTRE CÓCTEL DE TALENTOS
S
e llama Miguel Ángel Silvestre, pero muchas personas le siguen conociendo por el nombre de los personajes que ha interpretado en su carrera. Para algunos siempre será El Duque, de la serie de televisión Sin tetas no hay paraíso. Y para otros Alberto Márquez de Velvet o Lito Rodríguez de Sense8. Detrás de su risa contagiosa y esa autenticidad que se desprende por cada uno de los poros de su piel se encuentra simplemente Miguel Ángel, el chico de Castellón de la Plana que quiso ser tenista profesional hasta que sus lesiones se lo impidieron. El que un día comenzó estudios de Fisioterapia, soñó ser modelo y acabó estudiando Arte Dramático en Madrid para ver cumplidos sus sueños. Empezó haciendo teatro en Castellón en 2002 y en 2004 se puso por primera vez frente a las cámaras de televisión para la serie Mis adorables vecinos. En 2005 comenzó a despegar, con su primer papel protagonista en la película La distancia. Dos años más tarde, su papel del narcotraficante Rafael Duque, en Sin tetas no hay paraíso, le daría fama y premios a partes iguales. Y ya nada sería igual. Comenzaron a llegar las propuestas de papeles protagonistas, de la mano de los mejores directores. En 2012 grabó la película Todo es silencio, de José Luis Cuerda, y Los amantes pasajeros de Pedro Almodóvar. Y en 2013 fichó por la cadena Antena 3 para protagonizar la serie Velvet, que se convertiría en un fenómeno mundial, extendido a China y Latinoamérica. Un año más tarde, las hermanas Wachowski se fijaron en él para realizar la serie internacional Sense8 en EE.UU. y en 2016 participó en Narcos, de Netflix.

Además de sus apariciones esporádicas en publicidad, entre sus últimos trabajos como actor se encuentra su actuación como protagonista en la serie 30 monedas de Álex de la Iglesia (HBO) y Sky Rojo, de Álex Pina (Netflix), y tiene pendiente el estreno mundial de La casa de papel, mientras se encuentra en México por su nuevo trabajo, la serie Los enviados, dirigida por Juan José Campanella. Con el paso del tiempo, Miguel Ángel Silvestre se ha ido haciéndose a sí mismo. Desde que era un adolescente y abandonó Castellón de la Plana para ir a Barcelona a formarse como tenista en la Bruguera Academy ha sido consciente de que el éxito no se regala, sino que se consigue con esfuerzo. Difícil mantenerse con la cabeza en su sitio cuando las fans trepan por los muros de los hoteles para llegara a tu habitación o te llaman de Hollywood para participar en un casting. Y sin embargo, Miguel Ángel no solo lo ha conseguido, sino que ha sabido mantener su esencia. El público le quiere y él se deja querer. Sus compañeros de profesión le respetan y en su palmarés cuenta con premios como la Biznaga de Plata al Mejor Actor Revelación en el Festival de Cine de Málaga, la Palma de Oro de la Mostra de València al Mejor Actor y el Ondas por su interpretación en la serie Sin tetas no hay paraíso. Y sin embargo, se intuye que Miguel Ángel Silvestre es mucho más de lo que deja ver. Amante de las matemáticas avanzadas, de estar con los suyos y de los deportes, es fácil verle en su cuenta de Instagram con una tabla de surf en la mano. Exponiéndose a más de tres millones y medio de seguidores que celebran cada uno de sus pasos profesionales, en las redes sociales muestra lo que quiere mostrar y calla lo que tiene que callar. Demostrando que no es necesario más que el talento para seguir triunfando. ■

If asked to describe Akelarre restaurant, the flagship of chef Pedro Subijana, it could be defined with the concepts of excellence, innovation and avant-garde.

AN EXPERIENCE FOR ALL FIVE SENSES At Akelarre, the gastronomic experience is to be lived with all five senses. If the food is spectacular, the wine cellar has 700 references, including some of the best wines in the world. Next to the winery, you can visit a spacious tasting area with a large table in the centre. A perfect space to discover, taste and learn about some of the most special wines. Additionally, Akelarre restaurant has a culinary workshop; a research space conceived as a place to experiment and to taste the dishes which will be included in the menu, where the participants can learn about the techniques used, which helps them to appreciate the process followed to prepare each element of the recipe. Dining at Akelarre is an opportunity to savour the dishes of a restaurant that has held three Michelin Stars since 2007. Pedro Subijana’s artistic ability running the kitchen has elevated his restaurant to the peak of gastronomic excellence, and the quality of his cuisine has gained world-wide recognition.

he tasting menu formula is designed for those who do not want to miss out on any of the dishes the restaurant has to offer. There are two proposals, Aranori and Bekarki, thoughtfully designed to enjoy unique haute cuisine recipes with all the senses and from every perspective. Behind these dishes is the prodigious hand of Pedro Subijana, coupled with the professionalism of the whole team. “The staff is the most important thing. It’s thanks to them that the success of the whole is achieved. A good orchestra conductor is useless without the virtuosos of each instrument.” the restaurateur affirms. THREE MICHELIN STARS Subijana started out as a chef at Akelarre after taking his first professional steps in Tolosa, Hernani, Madrid and Estella. In 1975, he took charge of the restaurant, which was awarded the highest distinctions in prestigious gastronomic guides, becoming a member of Relais & Châteaux and Les Grandes Tables du Monde. While running his restaurant, the chef has also been the driving force behind some of the main initiatives for the promotion of haute cuisine in Spain, such as The New Basque Cuisine between 1976 and 1978, and Euro-Toques in 1986. He is also a patron of the Basque Culinary Centre in San Sebastián, associate professor at the University of Navarra, and has had more than 1,400 television programmes broadcast on Euskal Telebista. The awards and acknowledgements Pedro Subijana has received throughout his career are countless. In 1978, he was awarded his first Michelin Star, and a year later, the National Gastronomy Award for Best Chef. In 1982, he received his second Michelin Star, and his third came in 2007. He went on to receive the Medal of Merit for Fine Arts in 2016. Akelarre is a member of the Relais & Châteaux Association, and Pedro Subijana’s cuisine obtained a score of 9.5 in Gourmetour 2002, in addition to 4 suns in the 2002 Campsa Guide. ■

My aim is to create a home that reflects your personality and your soul. Ultimately, it should be a place that you can confide in, where one can unwind and relax. It should provide you with the safety and warmth which we all know is necessary for your peace of mind. When I walk into a space, before I notice any of the finer details, I’m immediately conscious of its ambience, its energy. I’ve come across many beautiful and impressive homes that still can’t help but feel cold or distant. The “Feeling of Home” is crucial to my work, it’s what invites you in, makes you want to explore. But how to achieve that? People don’t often realise how complex it is to create the perfect balance between architecture, colour, furniture, decoration, lighting, greenery and art. I have specialised in this for the last 20 years and have established a professional team in order to offer our clients the complete refurbishment and renovation service of their houses and apartments. I grew up in the Netherlands, then lived in Germany, Ireland, England (London) and now, for 16 years, in Marbella, this international experience has contributed greatly to my development. I have been fortunate enough to have ran my own art gallery in the Marbella Club Hotel for eight years. Artistic pieces of any kind have become an essential link for me when personalising a home. There’s a quality that art brings to one’s home unlike any other, it provides further stimulation, creating a richer experience within the space. In turn, it emulates a tremendous part of your personality. After this, with a business partner, I opened the first Concept Store in Hotel Puente Romano. Both ventures have given me invaluable experience with a diversity of international clients consisting of their wishes, demands, styles and budgets. I prefer to describe my style as an eclectic elegance “ a mix between traditional and modern as to create a timeless and international interior.I like to use a combination of different materials and textures. The right mix makes for an interesting interior and creates warmth. This can be achieved by the use of raw materials such as wood & stone, warm fabrics, curtains, rugs and cushions.

However, practical requirements and wishes also have to fit seamlessly, such as the possible presence of children, how the house is lived in, and what one’s favourite spaces are to spend time in. Do not underestimate the necessity of smart storage and elegant cabinet concepts! And as we all know, it’s very important here in the south of Spain, to integrate our outside areas harmoniously with the inside ones. To create various spaces outside for entertaining and relaxing. There is this word in Dutch: ‘Gezellig’, if one directly translates it, you’d get words like ‘cozy’ or ‘snug’, but the word encompasses so much more than that. It describes an energy, one that you feel present in, one that you associate with comfort and loved ones, one that describes an environment where you feel com-
pletely content in your surroundings, I think ultimately, that’s the goal for me when creating a home. There’s no doubt that it’s an investment to involve a good interior designer for the decoration of your home. But in my experience the reward is always much higher. Not only due to the considerable increase in value when selling, but also because of the immediate and daily happiness it can bring you in your everyday life. ■ Instagram: mg__interiors email : marga@mginteriors.design website: www.mginteriors.design

los últimos 20 años de mi vida y, además, he tenido la oportunidad de crear un equipo que ofrece un servicio de reformas completo. De tal forma, tengo la capacidad de ofrecer un servicio integral a los clientes de diseño de interiores y renovación de viviendas. Mis experiencias a nivel internacional han ayudado y contribuido a mi desarrollo. He crecido en Países Bajos y he vivido en Alemania, Irlanda e Inglaterra (Londres) un largo periodo de mi vida.Los últimos 16 años he estado viviendo en Marbella, donde tuve la suerte de crear una galería de arte en el Hotel Marbella Club y desarrollarla durante 8 años. Los objetos de arte para mi son esenciales para personalizar cualquier casa. El arte tiene la cualidad de hacer un hogar único e inigualable creando una experiencia más profunda del espacio y emulando una gran parte de la personalidad de cada uno. Después de esto, abrí la primera Concept Store en el Hotel Puente Romano con un compañero. Ambos proyectos me han dado una experiencia incalculable al tratar con numerosos clientes internacionales diferentes, con deseos, exigencias, estilos y presupuestos particulares. Mi estilo lo describiría como “elegancia ecléctica”, una mezcla de tradicional y moderno creando un interior internacional y atemporal. Me gusta combinar diferentes materiales y texturas en proporciones adecuadas haciendo el interior más interesante y cálido. Esto puede conseguirse con el uso de materias primas como madera y piedra, telas cálidas, alfombras y cojines.

Sin embargo, los requisitos y deseos deberían encajar a la perfección con la practicidad. Las necesidades del día a día son indispensables: la posible presencia de niños, la vida en la casa, en qué espacio se pasa más tiempo... y otras cuestiones a tener en cuenta como la necesidad de un almacenamiento más inteligente y de armarios elegantes. Además, es muy importante aquí en el sur de España, integrar espacios exteriores de forma armoniosa con interiores creando también áreas para el entretenimiento y relajación en el exterior. Hay una palabra holandesa que representa muy bien el concepto: “Gezellig”. Al traducirla, literalmente significaría “acogedor” o “cómodo”, pero la palabra ilustra mucho más que eso. Describe un sentimiento agradable acompañado de una energía que se puede palpar y que se asocia a personas cercanas y queridas. Sentirse completo en tu entorno, éste es el objetivo final para mí al crear un hogar. No hay duda de que involucrar a una buena figura de diseño de interiores para la decoración de tu casa es una inversión. No obstante, por experiencia propia, ello conlleva un rendimiento y retorno mucho mayor no solo por el incremento de valor del inmueble a la hora de la venta, si no por la satisfacción y felicidad inmediata que proporciona en tu vida diaria. La sensación acogedora y orgullo por tu propia tu casa no tiene valor cuantitativo. ■ Instagram: mg__interiors email : marga@mginteriors.design website: www.mginteriors.design

in all cases the comprehensive resolution of projects from urban management, very important in the city of Marbella such as architectural development, construction or landscape planning. Currently, he focuses a large part of his work on the development of residential architecture in prestigious private urbanizations such as Sierra Blanca and Nueva Andalucía in Marbella, Monte Mayor and Marbella Club Resort in Benahavís and La Reserva de Sotogrande. At this time, in addition to the development of premium residences, the studio is working on projects of greater spatial magnitude, such as residential buildings and for hotel use, developing a housing development in La Cala de Mijas and 2 super luxury hotels, one located in Tarifa and another in Saudi Arabia. Juan Antonio tells us about his creative processes, based on his ideas about the architectural conceptualization that he understands as the balance between functionality, habitability and efficiency.

It affirms that the constructive practice starts from the needs of those who inhabit it, therefore, from these premises, the architect becomes the mediator between the request and the resolution, he is the one who defines that habitable, emotional, personal and intimate space, that is organized through the articulation of a series of tangible and intangible elements (materials, light, space or landscape) to turn them into the physical expression of that desire or that need. “Imagination is more important than wisdom” Tadao Ando. He also points out that each territory conditions the way of inhabiting, is inserted in a context that is defined in relation to certain conditions of a geographical, orographic, climatological or environmental type. In this sense, the south of Spain and specifically Marbella, offers a multifaceted potential in which to these extremely favorable conditions are added other aspects linked to the tradition of the territory at the same time as the presence of modern services and infrastructures, which make it in one of the most attractive and potential enclaves in Europe. On the other hand, and from a committed perspective, in his interventions Juan Antonio transmits to us the search for logics of spatial arrangement, attending to essential concepts in the present and future constructive development, such as sustainability or sustainability (energy efficiency, light comfort and acoustic, use of sustainable materials and techniques, home automation or proper integration with the natural environment).

El arquitecto Juan Antonio Doblas Hidalgo, licenciado en la Escuela Politécnica Alfonso X El Sabio de Madrid, es el fundador de Doblas Hidalgo Arquitectos, estudio afincado en Marbella, el estudio lo forman él como arquitecto fundador y Alberto Doblas Hidalgo como arquitecto técnico. Tenemos una dilatada experiencia en la gestión integral de proyectos de arquitectura. Desde su constitución en el año 2012, el estudio ha ido proyectando y construyendo en el sur de la Península, principalmente en la provincia de Málaga, aunando conocimiento del contexto territorial, resolución estética y personalidad en cada uno de nuestros proyectos desarrollados.
Juan Antonio nos habla de sus procesos creativos, en base a sus ideas sobre la conceptualización arquitectónica que entiende como el equilibrio entre funcionalidad, habitabilidad y eficiencia. Afirma que la práctica constructiva parte de las necesidades del que la habita, por eso, a partir de esas premisas el arquitecto se convierte en el mediador entre la solicitud y la resolución, es el que define ese espacio habitable, emocional, personal e íntimo, que se organiza por medio de la articulación de una serie de elementos tangibles e intangibles (los materiales, la luz, el espacio o el paisaje) para convertirlos en la expresión física de ese deseo o esa necesidad. “La imaginación es más importante que la sabiduría” Tadao Ando.
Estamos especializados en el diseño y construcción de viviendas de lujo, realizando el esfuerzo de acercar este tipo de viviendas alto standing al comprador de viviendas luxury de una manera rápida y sencilla. Para ello, hemos generado una amplia variedad de viviendas con todo tipo de detalles, todas las necesidades de alto standing colaborando con las mejores marcas y calidades del mercado en materiales de construcción y acabados. El estudio trabaja en diferentes tipologías y escalas, abordando en todos los casos la resolución integral de los proyectos desde la gestión urbanística, muy importante en la ciudad de Marbella como el desarrollo arquitectónico, la construcción o la ordenación del paisaje. En la actualidad centra gran parte de su trabajo en el desarrollo de arquitectura residencial en prestigiosas urbanizaciones privadas como Sierra Blanca y Nueva Andalucía en Marbella, Monte Mayor y Marbella Club Resort en Benahavís y en La Reserva de Sotogrande. En este momento además del desarrollo de residencias premium el estudio está trabajando en proyectos de mayor magnitud espacial, como son edificios residenciales y de uso hoteleros, desarrollando una promoción de viviendas en La Cala de Mijas y 2 hoteles de super lujo, uno situado en Tarifa y otro en Arabia Saudí.
Igualmente apunta que cada territorio condiciona la manera de habitar, se inserta en un contexto que queda definido en relación a determinados condicionantes de tipo geográfico, oreográfico, climatológico o ambiental. En este sentido, el sur de España y concretamente Marbella, ofrece un potencial poliédrico en el que a éstas condiciones extremamente favorables se suman otros aspectos vinculados a la tradición del territorio al mismo tiempo que la presencia de servicios y de infraestructuras modernas, que lo convierten en uno de los enclaves con mayor atractivo y potencial de Europa. Por otra parte, y desde una mirada comprometida, en sus intervenciones Juan Antonio nos transmite la búsqueda de lógicas de disposición espacial atendiendo a conceptos indispensables en el desarrollo constructivo presente y futuro, como son la sustentabilidad o la sostenibilidad (eficacia energética, confrt lumínico y acústico, utilización de materiales y técnicas sostenibles, domótica o la adecuada integración con el entorno natural). De igual modo, su estudio incorpora nuevos desarrollos tecnológicos constructivos y diseño inteligente, defendiéndolos como claves en la arquitectura contemporánea, en aras de un mayor compromiso hacia el futuro e incremento del bienestar y la confortabilidad. ■ doblashidalgoarquitectos.com

PROMOTING START-UPS AND FOSTERING A FAVOURABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DIGITAL NOMADS T E X T: S A N T I A G O D E L A C R U Z
O
n 6th July 2011, the Government published a preliminary draft of the Law on the Promotion of the Start-Up Ecosystem, currently known as the future Start-Up Law. The idea is to encourage - although we’ll see what happens - the creation of start-ups and the attraction of this type of company to set up in Spain. Tax advantages were introduced to convince digital nomads to settle in our country. For this purpose, a special visa and non-resident personal income tax (IRPFNR using its Spanish abbreviation) with a considerable reduction in the tax rate is planned. But let’s break it down. First, we need to identify to whom the Law refers. It seems to refer to “start-ups”, which is any legal entity - including technology-based companies (those whose activity requires the generation or intensive use of scientific-technical knowledge and technologies for the generation of new products, processes and services and for the channelling of research, development and innovation initiatives and the transfer of their results) - or any natural person, including limited liability entrepreneurs, regulated by Spanish Law 14/2013, of 27th September, on support for entrepreneurs and their internationalisation that simultaneously meet the following conditions: a) the company must be newly established or, in general, be less than five years old, or seven years in the case of biotechnology, energy or industrial companies, b) it must not have arisen from mergers, spin-offs or transformations of previous companies, c) its permanent headquarters or establishment must be located in Spain, d) 60% of the workforce must have a contract in Spain, e) it must be an innovative company (whose purpose is to solve a problem or improve an existing situation by developing products, services or processes that are new or substantially improved compared to the state of the art and involve a risk of technological or industrial failure), f ) it must not distribute or have distributed dividends, g) it must not be listed on a regulated market, h) if the company is composed of a group of compa-

nies, the group must comply with the aforementioned conditions. The accreditation of these companies as innovators before ENISA (Empresa Nacional de Innovación S.A.) shall be a prerequisite for the recognition of their status and possible benefits, and the Notary and the Companies Register shall control the concurrence of their objective requirements. Once the company has been recognised and duly registered in the Companies Register, it shall be taxed at the 15% corporate tax rate (instead of the general rate of 25%) for a maximum of four years, with the possibility of deferring all tax debts for the first two years. Moreover, the taxation of employee stock options or rights increases from 12,000 euros to 25,000 euros. The deduction for investment is also increased from 30 to 40 percent and up to a maximum of 100,000 euros and, last but not least, attractive taxation is promoted for those moving to Spanish territory. Now that we have identified the Law’s scope of application - with the expository difficulties inherent to almost any law – let’s focus on attractive taxation for posted workers. Natural persons who acquire their residence in Spain as a result of moving to Spanish territory shall be allowed to choose between paying IRPFNR (non-resident personal income tax) while maintaining their status as IRPF (standard personal income tax) taxpayers during the tax period in which the change of residence takes place and for the following ten tax years, subject to the following tax rates: Up to 600,000 euros – 24% From 600,000.01 euros and above – 47% Finally, for non-EU workers or professionals, this tax regulation goes hand in hand with new requirements for entry and residence in Spain. A new visa -and new residence conditions- have therefore been created for non-EU foreigners

wishing to enter or reside in Spain, who shall be granted entry and residence in Spain for reasons of economic interest, in accordance with the provisions of those cases in which they can prove that they are: a) investors, b) entrepreneurs, c) highly-qualified professionals, d) researchers, e) workers engaged in intra-corporate movements or f ) international teleworkers. The Preliminary Draft explains that a third-country national who is authorised to stay in Spain to work or carry out a professional activity remotely for companies located outside Spain through the exclusive use of computer, telematic and telecommunication means and systems, is in a situation of residence for international teleworkers. In the case of an employment activity, the holder of the international telework permit may only work for companies located outside of Spain. In the case of exercising a professional activity, the holder of the international telework permit may work for a company located in Spain provided that the percentage of such work does not exceed 20% of their total professional activity. Highly-qualified professionals who can prove that they are graduates or postgraduates from universities, vocational training and business schools or, where applicable, have at least 3 years of professional experience, may apply for a teleworking visa or permit. In addition, the following requirements must be accredited: a) the existence of a real and continuous activity for at least one year of the company or group of companies with which the worker has a working or professional relationship, b) documentation accrediting that the working or professional relationship can be carried out remotely, c) in the event of the existence of a working relationship, accreditation must be provided of the working relationship between the worker and the company not located in Spain with which this relationship has been maintained for at least the last three months, as well as
documentation accrediting that this company allows the worker to carry out their work remotely, d) in the case of the existence of a professional relationship, proof must be provided that the worker has had a business relationship with one or more companies not located in Spain for at least the last three months, as well as documentation accrediting the terms and conditions under which the professional activity shall be carried out remotely. The international telework visa shall be valid for a maximum period of one year, unless it is requested for a shorter period of work, and shall constitute sufficient authorisation to reside and work remotely in Spain for the duration of its validity. Upon expiry of the visa, international teleworkers who wish to reside in Spain may apply for the international teleworker’s residence permit, provided that the conditions that gave them the right to reside in Spain are maintained. Finally, foreigners who are in Spain on a regular basis can apply for a residence permit for the purpose of teleworking remotely for a company located abroad, which shall be valid throughout Spain. This permit shall be valid for a maximum period of two years, unless it is requested for a shorter period of work. In short, something new, but once again we are lagging behind. The Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Portugal and Croatia are already ahead of us (not to mention more distant countries such as Georgia, Barbados, Bermuda, Bahamas, Dubai, Mexico and Costa Rica, among others). There is no doubt, given our compromised economic situation, that a quick, intelligent and agile regulation (something that Spanish administration tends to forget) can make Spain a particularly attractive destination for start-ups and for these “digital nomads” and that Malaga and Marbella, in particular, is an unbeatable destination if Spain, as a country, do things right.

This is probably one of my favourite listings but I have so many. The reason why is my favourite listing is that it’s been built with everything in mind, there’s not one thing you can imagine that’s missing; it’s private, it’s got its own spa centre, cinema room, the master bedroom is just a delayed opening into the most beautiful double bathroom; indoor swimming pool, you name it it’s got it.

Painting has always been a matter of maturity and personal growth. Alejandro Hermann has been painting, drawing and creating for more than 30 years. When he lists the painters who have influenced him, big names such as Marc Rotko, Anselm Kiefer or Pierres Soulages come to mind. However, it is the knowledge bequeathed by these masters that really brings Alejandro Hermann’s creativity to its peak. He is accustomed to working with technique, material and colours as well as with the purest expression of emotions. If Street Art and post-Pop Art marked the 80s, the 90s marked a turning point in his artistic evolution. Drawing, but also abstract art, are increasingly present. Faces, bodies, animals and horses follow one after the other, where lines intertwine to create strong and striking portraits. Alejandro Hermann gradually emancipates himself from the forms and devotes himself mainly to abstract art. The artist works in layers and sculpts his painting with pieces of paper, fabric or recycled objects that are superimposed like layers of life on the canvas. The intensity of the colours is born from all the light that is brought in by those underneath and that some reflections let us guess. The authenticity and purity are imposed on the material that clings to the canvas leaving us to imagine and participate in the artistic universe of this complete artist. Alejandro Hermann currently lives in Marbella and exhibits in Madrid, Germany, England and Dubai. He spends his time in his studio in Nueva Campana painting and receiving his artist friends and collectors who have been following him for a long time and who are part of his family. There are also two spaces exhibiting his works in the centre of Marbella (Temblo and Magna Marbella Golf). ■ EXCLUSIVE LIFE MAGAZINE |

ALEJANDRO HERMANN Para Alejandro Hermann, ser artista es sobre todo una forma de vida que encuentra su origen en su historia familiar. Originario de Buenos Aires (Argentina), ha sido fiel a su filosofía y su creatividad en todos los países (Francia, Alemania, Italia, España) en los que ha vivido por motivos personales y artísticos. Curioso por comprender la realidad, este artista polígloto y polifacético se apasiona por varias corrientes artísticas antes de elegir definitivamente el arte abstracto como el que reúne todos los elementos para aportar la paz que pretende transmitir. La pintura fue siempre un asunto de madurez y de crecimiento personal. Alejandro Hermann lleva más de 30 años pintando, dibujando y creando. Cuando sitúa a los pintores que le han influido, surgen grandes nombres como Marc Rotko, Anselm Kiefer o Pierres Soulages. Pero, es el conocimiento legado por estos Maestros lo que realmente lleva la creatividad de Alejandro Hermann a su apogeo. Se acostumbra a trabajar tanto la técnica, la materia y los colores como la expresión más pura de las emociones. Si los años 80 estuvieron marcados por el Street Art y el post Pop Art, los 90 marcaron un punto de inflexión en su evolución artística.

El dibujo, pero también el arte abstracto, están cada vez más presentes. Rostros, cuerpos, animales y caballos se suceden, donde las líneas se entrelazan para crear retratos fuertes e impactantes. Alejandro Hermann se emancipa poco a poco de las formas para dedicarse principalmente al arte abstracto. El artista trabaja por capas y esculpe su pintura con trozos de papeles, telas u objetos reciclados que se sobreponen como capas de vida sobre el lienzo. La intensidad de los colores nace de toda la luz que aportan los que están debajo y que algunos reflejos dejan adivinar. La autenticidad y la pureza se imponen en el material que se aferra al lienzo dejándonos imaginar y participar al universo artístico de este artista completo. Alejandro Hermann vive actualmente en Marbella y expone entre otros, en Madrid, Alemania, Inglaterra o Dubái. Se dedica en su estudio de Nueva Campana a pintar y recibir a sus amigos artistas y coleccionistas que le siguen desde hace tiempo y que forman parte de la familia. También hay dos espacios que exponen sus obras en el centro de Marbella (Temblo y Magna Marbella Golf). ■

ANECDOTES THAT MAKE HISTORY Many singers also made this hotel their accommodation of reference when spending the night in the capital. Frank Sinatra did so in 1986, on the occasion of a concert. Dissatisfied with the poor ticket sales, he handed out numerous invitations to the staff. Actress Ava Gardner stayed for the first time in 1950, for the shooting of a film. Once finished, she stayed in Madrid for over 20 years. And until she bought her own house, she would go back to the hotel every night. Salvador Dalí and Gala would always go to lunch in the hotel restaurant when they were in Madrid, and the famous scientist, Alexander Fleming, who stayed there in 1948, was so delighted with the Madrid-style tripe prepared for him that he took several containers of this local specialty back with him when he returned home to England. And among the illustrious guests, we must not forget the Venezuelan businessmen Gustavo and Ricardo Cisneros, who rented the Royal Suite for a whole year at the price of 450,000 pesetas per night. But they did not sleep in it even a single night, as they only used it as an office for their business.

T
he hotel was originally designed and built under the supervision of the legendary hotelier, César Ritz. Located in the heart of the city, it has always been a delightful meeting place for both Spanish high society and international guests. After undergoing the most ambitious restoration in its history, which took three years to complete, it now offers the unique Belle Époque character of the original building. Each of the 120 luxuriously decorated rooms and 42 suites, with handmade carpets, embroidered bedding, and furnishings which are priceless antiques, boasts an elegant, contemporary style. Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid has become one of Spain’s most innovative culinary venues, with five gastronomic concepts, overseen by three Michelin star chef, Quique Dacosta. With physical and mental wellness in mind, for the first time in its history, the hotel offers the possibility of enjoying an oasis of tranquility in the form of a spa, with a heated indoor pool, a vitality pool, multi-sensory showers, a steam room and a modern gym, with the option of access to personal trainers. THE HOTEL OF THE ROYALS After its restoration, the hotel has preserved the spirit that gave it birth and made it the preferred accommodation of royals, politicians and celebrities. Numerous royal families have stayed here over the decades. One of the most exotic was that of the Maharaja of Kapurthala, and his wife, the young Spanish dancer, Anita Delgado, who he met in 1906, when he came to the capital on the occasion of Alfonso XIII’s wedding. At that time, Spanish society was fascinated by the love story between the dancer and the opulent Hindu prince. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor also stayed at the hotel on numerous occasions after their first visit in 1940. Suite 511-512, their favourite, was always reserved for them. For their part, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace celebrated their honeymoon at the hotel, returning as often as their multiple engagements permitted. Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia also chose the hotel for his stays in the capital. His protocol established that no one could turn their back to him when leaving the room he was staying in. A wish that the employees promptly complied with, but which caused more than one to stumble, as they were not used to such circumstances. ■

ANÉCDOTAS QUE HACEN HISTORIA El hotel fue originariamente diseñado y construido bajo la supervisión del legendario hotelero César Ritz. Situado en el corazón de la ciudad, siempre ha sido un exquisito lugar de encuentro tanto para la alta sociedad española como para los huéspedes internacionales. Tras someterse a la restauración más ambiciosa de su historia, que se ha prolongado durante tres años, ofrece el carácter único Belle Époque del edificio original. Cada una de las 120 habitaciones, lujosamente decoradas, y las 42 suites, con alfombras hechas a mano, ropa de cama bordada y muebles que constituyen valiosas antigüedades, disfruta de un estilo elegante y contemporáneo.
EL HOTEL DE LA REALEZA Tras su restauración, el hotel sigue conservando el espíritu que le vio nacer y que le hizo convertirse en el alojamiento preferido de la realeza, la política y las celebridades. Numerosas Casas Reales se han alojado aquí durante décadas. Una de las más exóticas fue la del Maharajá de Kapurthala, y su mujer, la joven bailarina española Anita Delgado, a quien conoció cuando, en 1906, el Maharajá vino a la capital con ocasión de la boda de Alfonso XIII. En aquella época, la sociedad española seguía fascinada la historia de amor entre la bailarina y el fastuoso príncipe hindú.
Mandarin Oriental Riz de Madrid se ha convertido en uno de los destinos culinarios más innovadores de España, con cinco conceptos gastronómicos supervisados por el chef Quique Dacosta, galardonado con tres estrellas Michelin.
El Duque y la Duquesa de Windsor también se hospedaron en el hotel en numerosas ocasiones tras su primera visita, en 1940. Siempre se les reservaba la suite 511-512, su preferida. Por su parte, el Príncipe Rainiero y la Princesa Grace celebraron su luna de miel en el hotel, volviendo con frecuencia cuando sus múltiples compromisos se lo permitían.
Y pensando en el bienestar de cuerpo y mente, por primera vez en su historia el hotel ofrece la posibilidad de disfrutar de un oasis de tranquilidad en forma de spa, con piscina cubierta climatizada, una piscina de vitalidad, duchas de sensaciones, una sala de vapor y un moderno gimnasio, con la posibilidad de acceder a entrenadores personales.
El emperador Haile Selassie, de Etiopía, también se decantaba por el hotel en sus estancias en la capital. Su protocolo establecía que nadie podía retirarse de la sala en la que se encontrara mostrándole la espalda. Un deseo que los empleados atendían puntualmente, pero que ocasionaba más de un tropezón, al no estar acostumbrados a tal circunstancia. ■

También numerosos cantantes convirtieron a este hotel en su alojamiento de referencia cuando pernoctaban en la capital. Frank Sinatra lo hizo en 1986, con motivo de un concierto. Disgustado por la escasa venta de localidades, repartió numerosas invitaciones a los empleados. La actriz Ava Gardner se alojó por primera vez en 1950 para el rodaje de una película. Una vez terminado se quedó durante más de 20 años en Madrid. Y hasta que compró su propia casa, cada noche dirigía sus pasos al hotel. Salvador Dalí y Gala siempre acudían a almorzar al restaurante del hotel cuando estaban en madrid, y el famoso científico Alexander Fleming, hospedado en 1948, quedó tan encantado con los callos a la madrileña que le prepararon que se llevó varios contenedores con esta especialidad madrileña cuando regresó a su casa en Inglaterra. Y entre los invitados ilustres no hay que olvidar a los empresarios venezolanos Gustavo y Ricardo Cisneros, que alquilaron la Suite Real durante un año entero al precio de 450.000 pesetas por noche. Pero no llegaron a dormir en ella ni un solo día, ya que solo la utilizaron como oficina para sus negocios.

re you ready to meet this enigmatic, infinite, mystical and authentic destination? Because Japan exudes authenticity from every pore. “MUST DO’S” IN JAPAN: go shopping in Tokyo and contemplate its lights, visit the temples in Kyoto, witness an authentic tea ceremony, contemplate Mount Fuji, sleep in a ryokan and relax in an onsen, visit some of its most famous gardens and taste its local cuisine , Japan is the country with the most Michelin stars in the world! One of the things that we like the most about Japan is the great variety of accommodation that is on offer, for all tastes and pockets…. Today we are talking about the ones we like most because of their design, location, exclusivity, authenticity or service. The exclusive Aman hotel chain has two properties, one in Tokyo and the other in Kyoto, the latter being the most recent and the most spectacular!! Located to the north of the city integrated in a maple forest, the exterior reminds us of the machiya houses and the interior is inspired by the ryokan, but with great detail and exquisite taste. Staying here is an experience in itself. Hoshinoya Fuji and Hoshinoya Kyoto, are two spectacular properties with a lot of charm and very exclusive. How about having breakfast in the morning in front of Mount

Fuji, in contemporary architecture fused with the coniferous forest that surrounds it. Located in the Gion neighborhood, one of the hotels we like the most in Kyoto, Sowaka, which means “happiness and well-being” in Sanskrit, is an oasis of calm and peace. A place that you cannot miss if you go to Kyoto, even if only to dine at its spectacular restaurant La BOMBANCE… a pleasure for the senses. One of the most exclusive experiences that you can have in Japan is to travel the Seto Inland Sea aboard the Guntû cruise, a beauty, pure in its lines, inspired by the Setouchi culture by the Japanese architect Yasushi Horibe. It is a pleasure to visit this archipelago of 700 islands staying for 3 nights in this small, floating hotel with only 19 rooms, enjoying its exquisite cuisine & spectacular spa treatments, whilst getting to know the local populations, their history and crafts from the best guides. These places and experiences are some of the ones you will enjoy when you travel with us to Japan! ■ CRIS&KIM TRAVEL DESIGNERS AVDA CANOVAS DEL CASTILLO 1 29601 MARBELLA cristina@crisandkim.com +34952859113

SUSANA URBANO INTERIORS PRESENTS “THE SIGNATURE” The most repetitive question I am asked by my clients is where do the products I choose for my projects come from. My response to this is from different parts of the world as I love to travel and I enjoy introducing new furniture designs and innovative materials. Obviously, for those people who are not dedicated to this profession or for those who decide to have a second or a third home abroad, it is sometimes difficult to find interesting and new pieces for their houses. With great enthusiasm and affection, I have wanted to get even closer to my clients and I have decided to create an online shop where my clients can purchase a very special and exclusive selection of pieces of furniture, lighting, art, and even wall coverings. With “The signature”: www.susanaurbanointeriors.com/online-shop/ I intend to give the possibility not only to my clients, but to everyone, to incorporate pieces or special elements into their homes. For the more daring I have incorporated a selection of wall coverings, that will make a significant change in any room. I offer the possibility of customizing many of the selected pieces and I have also made a selection of art pieces as well as decorative art. For everyone in our team, all our clients are important, whether they need help with a large or a small project. Our goal is always

Europe’s most modern health resort offers more than 21,000 square metres of space for rest, regeneration and revitalisation of body, mind and soul. The pioneering and globally unique Lanserhof Concept, the result of years of research and development work, is a symbiosis of modern cutting-edge medicine, valuable insights from traditional naturopathy, energy medicine, psychology and chrono-medicine. A thoroughly holistic approach, because the focus is on the human being in its entirety. The regeneration process begins with sensitive detoxification, purification and deacidification programmes. Only these cleansing rituals enable the body to regenerate and reorganise its own healing powers. Health, beauty, vitality and mental mood are determined by the purity of the body. This holistic method forms the basis of the Lanserhof philosophy and promotes health as the most important asset. In a warm, secure and harmonious atmosphere, the self-healing powers are activated and the foundation for a healthier, happier and more energetic life is laid. The effect of the surroundings, whether indoors or outdoors, in public spaces or in one’s own room, also plays a significant role. Thus, the architecture of the Lanserhof Tegernsee is reduced and timeless. With simple shapes, discreet, warm colours and natural materials. This approach allows the guests to concentrate on the essentials, on themselves. The main building is ar-
chitecturally modelled on a monastery. An essential part of the overall design is the green inner courtyard. An oasis of peace and relaxation. The surrounding 70 rooms and suites, each with its own balcony terrace overlooking the Alpine landscape, are elegantly designed and flooded with light, offering a private retreat and a feeling of well-being and home. The use of materials such as wood, leather and natural stone emphasise the colour of the sky, the lake and the surrounding mountains. In this fascinating environment, the Lanserhof doctors and therapists take time for the individual sensations and needs of the guests and help them to regain and retain their strength and energy. In addition to the resort at Lake Tegernsee and the health centre in Lans, the outpatient health institute LANS Medicum and the centre for cardiology LANS Cardio in Hamburg as well as Lanserhof at The Arts Club, London’s leading private wellness clinic, are part of the Lanserhof Group. At the beginning of 2022, another Lanserhof health resort will open its doors: Lanserhof Sylt. The focus of the first Lanserhof by the sea will be on cardiological rehabilitation for acute and chronic diseases, complementing the naturopathic approach in the middle of the unique climate of the most northern German island Sylt.■ EXCLUSIVE LIFE MAGAZINE |

LANSERHOF TEGERNSEE
Rodeado de las estribaciones bávaras de los Alpes, en medio de una naturaleza impresionante y con una vista impresionante del valle de Tegernsee se encuentra el Lanserhof Tegernsee: un lugar para recargar las pilas, para una regeneración sostenible y a largo plazo y para simplemente estar. El balneario más moderno de Europa ofrece más de 21.000 metros cuadrados de espacio para el descanso, la regeneración y la revitalización del cuerpo, la mente y el alma. El concepto pionero y único en el mundo de Lanserhof Concept, resultado de años de investigación y desarrollo, es una simbiosis de medicina moderna de vanguardia, valiosos conocimientos de la naturopatía tradicional, medicina energética, psicología y cronomedicina. Un enfoque totalmente holístico, ya que se centra en el ser humano en su totalidad.
116
| EXCLUSIVE LIFE MAGAZINE
El proceso de regeneración comienza con programas sensibles de desintoxicación, purificación y desacidificación. Sólo estos rituales de limpieza permiten al cuerpo regenerarse y reorganizar sus propios poderes curativos. La salud, la belleza, la vitalidad y el estado de ánimo están determinados por la pureza del cuerpo. Este método holístico constituye la base de la filosofía de Lanserhof y promueve la salud como el activo más importante. En un ambiente cálido, seguro y armonioso, se activan los poderes de autocuración y se sientan las bases para una vida más sana, feliz y enérgica. El efecto del entorno, ya sea en el interior o en el exterior, en los espacios públicos o en la propia habitación, también desempeña un papel importante. Así, la arquitectura del Lanserhof Tegernsee es reducida y atemporal. Con formas sencillas, colores discretos y cálidos y materiales naturales.
exclusivelife. | TRAVEL
Este enfoque permite a los huéspedes concentrarse en lo esencial, en ellos mismos. El edificio principal tiene como modelo arquitectónico un monasterio. Una parte esencial del diseño general es el verde patio interior. Un oasis de paz y relajación. Las 70 habitaciones y suites que lo rodean, cada una con su propio balcón-terraza con vistas al paisaje alpino, están elegantemente diseñadas e inundadas de luz, ofreciendo un refugio privado y una sensación de bienestar y hogar. El uso de materiales como la madera, el cuero y la piedra natural resaltan el color del cielo, el lago y las montañas circundantes. En este fascinante entorno, los médicos y terapeutas del Lanserhof se toman el tiempo necesario para las sensaciones y necesidades individuales de los huéspedes y les ayudan a recuperar y conservar su fuerza y energía. Además del resort en el lago Tegernsee y el centro de salud en Lans, el instituto de salud ambulatorio LANS Medicum y el centro de cardiología LANS Cardio en Hamburgo, así como Lanserhof at The Arts Club, la principal clínica privada de bienestar de Londres, forman parte del Grupo Lanserhof. A principios de 2022 abrirá sus puertas otro centro de salud de Lanserhof: Lanserhof Sylt. El primer Lanserhof junto al mar se centrará en la rehabilitación cardiológica para enfermedades agudas y crónicas, complementando el enfoque naturista, en medio del clima único de la isla más septentrional de Alemania, Sylt.■

here are times that mark a before and after, and without a doubt, this is one of them.
We are experiencing a change of concepts, values and ways of understanding life on a global level that leads us to adapt to the new times, always offering our best version. Casino Marbella Restaurant has done the same. A legendary place in Marbella’s local gastronomy with more than 40 years of history. Gone are the days of endless dinners. Now time takes value, we look for immediacy while maintaining the best service with the best quality. And this is what the new concept of the Casino Marbella Restaurant proposes with its Gastrobar. Same space and same team, which once again renews its offer adapting to current trends. At the head is Chef Agustín Román who, for more than 10 years now, has been demonstrating his know-how and surprises at the highest gastronomic level with the latest culinary trends. Anchovies with chermoula sauce and pea hummus, Russian salad with “fritura malagueña” or Beetroot Gazpacho with frozen yogurt and sprockets are some of the new tapas presented in this new concept. With a long professional career since he was young, he has been part of the team of great restaurants awarded with Michelin Stars. Not only at national level, also at international level he has left his mark taking part in the United Nations Catering in New York, Winzerstube Restaurant in Germany or the Palacio de Vizcaya in Miami.

he two villas we feature here are from Marbella’s mosttalked-about new development, Vista Lago Residences. The exceptional, transformative design that has been created for Vista Lago has turned a development of luxury villas into a world-class work of architectural & interior design. All 18 villas in Vista Lago Residences have been designed and decorated differently. Not just tweaked to appear different at a glance, but very different, both inside and out. In years to come, the villas will be showcases of design prescience: an example of the use of design concepts and materials that will have been ahead of their time. INSPIRED BY NATURE The single outstanding feature of the principal living room in this villa is the stone-effect porcelain backdrop. Each tile measures 120 x 240 cm, which one never sees in a residential home of this kind. It is basically a huge ceramic mural, inspired by nature and put together in such a way that it can be used as a backdrop without sacrificing any of its visual effectiveness. It sets the tone for the rest of the room, where colour has been kept to a required minimum in the sharply contrasting piece of amethyst on the bottom shelf, whose purple colour is complemented by the more subtle tones of the cushions and, of course, the splashes of natural green in the bonsais and plants on the terrace. The floor tiles are equally large, measuring one by three metres in surface area, and toned perfectly to fit in with the overall colour

scheme. The slimline window frames are only 1.8 centimetres thick, leaving almost nothing between the viewer and the view. TROMPE L’OEIL STYLE The backdrop to this living space is a panelled wall covering in black, white and subtle greys that has been chosen to offset the coloured highlights in the rest of the room while also being a design element standing on its own visual merits. Without them, it would still make a fascinating backdrop. With them, it makes the entire space a fascinating exercise in the use of colour and shape, or to be more specific, in the use of just enough of it. Look carefully at the use of colour here. Three circular glass lamps stand on a white shelf under the monochrome wall covering, in light blue, purple and yellow, and all the other colours in the room reflect these colours: the cushions and gold coloured overhead lamp in a more subtle yellow, the armchair and circular side table in purple and the glass candle-holders on the central coffee table in blue. The secret to this design is see how for one can go with additional colours, all chosen to work perfectly against the large monochrome wall covering, where a wooded landscape is suggested by undulating tones of light grey running from wall to wall. ■ Architecture & Interior Design by UDesign, Developed by BRIGHT.

S
abina Rusconi and Milena Piccoli founded Together and me just before the outbreak of the pandemic in spring 2020. They came up with an innovative concept of coaching, connecting & relaxing in unique worldwide locations, for handpicked international singles aged 45 plus. In a world of increasing virtual relationships Together and Me does exactly the opposite, bringing real people together in real places and initiating lasting friendships and possibly relationships. Little did they knew that their idea needed to be put on hold for more than a year. Increasing loneliness and social isolation multiplied the general interest in Together and me’s innovative way of supporting people to truly meet and connect again with themselves and others. UPCOMING RETREATS IN IBIZA AND SOTOGRANDE Sabina, Milena and their team of 8 international coaches together with exceptional support staff will pamper participants inside & outside and welcome their first guests in 2021 at the upcoming retreats in Sotogrande, at the Finca Monasterio from 25-28 October 2021, and in Ibiza from 11-14 Oct in an exclusive private Villa. An additional retreat is currently being looked at for the end of the year in Tulum, Riviera Maya. So how does it all work?

The retreat environment is a magnificent place that nurtures your senses and meets the highest standards. Together and me organises evenings with special themes and invites inspirational speakers. Participants can choose many outdoor activities that constitute real opportunities for interaction.

Favourite foods and sports of
Europe’s royal families There is great secrecy surrounding royal families as far as their personal tastes are concerned, which increases the curiosity felt
about questions such as what their favourite food is, or what sports they like to do. We invite you to discover the European royals’ lesser known side to the general public
THE SPANISH ROYAL FAMILY Felipe VI loves good food. One of his favorite dishes is Iberian ham, although he also enjoys eating pasta and salads. For her part, Queen Letizia is passionate about healthy food. She enjoys having meals with her family whenever her schedule allows, and personally supervises the diet of her daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia. The Spanish royal family’s breakfast starts with fruit, fresh cheese, turkey breast and fresh orange juice. At school, there is only one day a month when Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia eat chips and fried eggs. The menu consists mainly of organic vegetables and fish. Doña Leticia’s and Don Felipe’s daughters’ favourite physical activity is ballet, although they also like skiing. Felipe VI has inherited the taste for sailing from his father, and while for Don Juan Carlos, a culinary treat is spicy sardines in oil, Doña Sofía has always opted for healthy meals, including corn, beetroot, quark cheese, and dishes dressed with lemon juice. As for the Infantas Elena and Cristina, their culinary tastes include caviar, fish and vegetables. When it comes to sports, Elena has a preference for horse-riding, while Cristina is keen on water sports.

THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is, without a doubt, one of the most charismatic characters of the European royalty. Perhaps the secret of her longevity lies in the diet she follows, which excludes bread, rice, potatoes and pasta. The monarch prefers vegetables, pheasant or fish. Although she follows a very healthy diet, she has two weaknesses: Earl Grey tea and chocolate biscuit cake. Her favourite! If there is one sport that Elizabeth II particularly enjoys, it is horse racing. The queen, who is an extraordinary horsewoman, has thoroughbred horses that regularly take part in equestrian competitions. As for the other members of the British royal family, Kate Middelton, the Duchess of Cambridge, enjoys oatmeal drinks and nuts, which supply her with enough energy to keep up with her daily schedule. The Duchess shares Prince William’s love of sports. She is a fan of hockey, tennis and diving, while her husband is a keen polo player.

OTHER EUROPEAN FAMILIES Many of the sports that the European royals do are related to their lineages as well as their personal tastes. In Monaco, Princess Charlène is keen on swimming, having competed in the sport professionally before assuming her role in the royalty. Both she and her husband, Albert II of Monaco, opt for the Mediterranean diet, and regularly eat fish dishes. For their part, Prince Daniel and Princess Victoria of Sweden choose to have no restrictions in their diet, but they always compensate with intense sport sessions. Frederik of Denmark has completed several Ironman races, and has taken part in dog sledding expeditions in Greenland. Similarly, Philippe of Belgium, a marathon runner, opts for low-calorie food, while Haakon of Norway enjoys skiing and kitesurfing. His wife, Mette-Marit, has banned ultra-processed foods, sugar and caffeine at the palace, and gluten and dairy products are reduced to a minimum. Lastly, Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands is a big football fan. Both he and his wife, Queen Maxima, eat five meals a day, their favourite being organic vegetables. EXCLUSIVE LIFE MAGAZINE |

WHO ARE THE ACE DNTL STUDIO? WELCOME TO OUR DREAM TEAM, THE ACE DNTL STUDIO LED BY DR. ACE KORKCHI
D
r. Ace was born and raised in Sweden with a Persian origin. He graduated in 2009 in Gothenburg and decided to move to Marbella to follow his fathers footstep and with a clear vision of being a pioneer in the field of dentistry. 11 years later and thousands of smile makeovers from regular patients to top influencers and celebrities, his vision turned into reality and the concept of dentistry began to expand. Dr.Ace right hand and partner Thomas Jensen is the master ceramist, lab director and digital smile design pro with over 15 years advancened experience in the field, always exploring the new best materials and improving his craft. His skills to ACE DNTL STUDIO completes the vision of Dr. Ace Korkchi. Dr. Eyal (Evgeni) Miroshnik, the new recruit to the dream team. Dr. Eyal Miroshnik is the balancing partner to Dr. Ace Korkchi. He established himself in Spain June 2019 and graduated with honors from the Lithuanian University of Medical Sciences in Kaunas 2015. Timing was good when Dr. Eyal met with Dr. Ace through his Instagram Ad. One ‘date’ was all they needed and a new partnership took place.
SOMETHING OUT OF THE “ORDINARY” With a design background and known for having eyes for aesthetics, Dr. Ace Korkchi has made a drastically change about “typical dentistry”. No more scary feelings about going to the dentist.
WHAT IS THE MOST DEMANDED TREATMENT AND WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIALIZATIONS ? The clinic’s main purpose is angled toward aesthetic dental treatments such as whitenings, laminates, veneers, extended veneers. Our Clinic is built and customized to be able to be 100% efficient in producing new smiles. What people sometimes forget is that as aesthetic dentists we always have a base of general dentistry. We do all kinds of dentistry even surgery and implants is a day to day treatment in ACE DNTL STUDIO.
HOW A “SMILE MAKEOVER” CAN IMPACT/ENHANCE THE FACE Veneers or crowns can make a huge change to a patient’s face as the smile is the most visible part. To start we examine the patient in order to see what they actually need. Different patients need different treatments. Sometimes we raise the bite to create more space that will automatically impact/enhance the shape of the patient’s face vertically. Other times we need to angle the teeth out or broaden the smile this will impact the shape and support of the lips. By doing a smile makeover we can enhance or detract the overall harmony that will bring out a balance to the patient’s face which simply will create a natural look.
PERFECTLY NATURAL VS NATURALLY PERFECT
Meticulously analyzing all the aspects of dental phobia, Dr. Ace has developed his new style boutique studio and clinic so that you will feel almost like home.
The design process begins at the minute that we see our patients or basically whenever we meet people (that’s what happens in this job).
His vision includes having spacious rooms where music and ambiance comes together with the design and architecture that is calming to your mind. We always think outside the box in order to make our patients feel as little nervous as possible. We don’t believe in a “low quality- high roll” business model and
Your teeth and smile play a major role in how you are perceived both energywise and lookwise. We create smiles at ACE DNTL STUDIO enhancing your own natural beauty versus having a patient coming in and giving them perfectly symmetrical “beautiful teeth”. This makes US stand out within the field of dentistry.

“You have to be careful about how you “change” someone’s appearance because you are changing the way they are going to be perceived.” Beauty is not necessarily symmetry; it’s a balance as most things in life. What you are looking for when you are treating a smile for someone is the asymmetries of their face and how to balance those asymmetries with creating parallel planes of new teeth. So the teeth may not be symmetrical at all, in fact they shouldn’t be symmetrical because that is not the natural look. They should blend in together with the face as the teeth are the most reflective and brightest part of it.
HOW IS THE PROCESS OF CHOOSING THE COLOR OF YOUR FUTURE SMILE? Choosing a patient’s personalized shape and color for their veneers and crowns goes through different steps. Dr. Ace and Dr. Eyal put their vision into work and then it goes to a ceramist to execute it. This might seem easy but it needs a “talented and experienced eye”. This is where we are unique. The patients often have their own idea or interpretation (a picture) of how they want their smile to look like. We combine their ideas with what can be done to their individual smile, in order to give them the most accurate, natural and long lasting result.
DO VENEERS/CROWNS YELLOW OR COLOUR OVER TIME? Our veneers do not colour over time, period! :-)
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ORIGINAL TEETH UNDERNEATH? Veneers/crowns are what we call a dental restoration. If the restoration is sealed and if the patient is taking good care of its own smile (brushing, flossing, regular cleaning twice per year), the tooth underneath will maintain the same. With or without a restoration to your teeth, you must always take care of your smile.
HOW LONG DOES VENEERS LAST AND WHAT’S THE PRICE OF A SMILE MAKEOVER? Veneers depending on the type, material and extension can last many years in a stable bite, sometimes more than 15-20 years. Price is always based on individual cases and follows the complexity of the case. People don’t come to us for getting the best price but we are also not the most expensive around.
WHAT GETS YOU INSPIRED ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS? We get inspired from all the great smiles we have created over the years. We get inspired by the people we meet in our yearly dental missions to countries in need. We get inspired by illuminating the boring status of the dentistry branch and make it come to life in new flavours and concepts. Our patients might only refer to the end results, but to us there is so much more. Reaching the goals and the journey to get there is equally important and that’s why we value the whole process. The bonus is to experience how a fantastic smile can affect people’s lives on so many levels whether it’s for confidence or for functioning. ■

Greta Garbo UNTAMED BEAUTY
A unique personality and a magnetic beauty which transcended the silver screen are two of the traits that define the great Greta Garbo. Diva of silent films and undisputed star of Hollywood in its golden age, the life of the actress was full of indecipherable mysteries that made her one of the great celluloid stars.

reta Lovisa Gustafsson was born in the humble Stockholm neighbourhood of Södermalm. Her father died when she was 14, and she left school to help her mother raise the family. She got a job in a department store, where she was soon selected for its advertising campaign, which provided her with enough exposure to get her first film role, in The Saga of Gosta Berling, in 1924. A year later, Greta would sign a contract with Metro Goldwyn Mayer, which marked the beginning of a successful film career. After several silent films, such as Torrent, Flesh and the Devil, Love or The Divine Woman, she made the leap to sound films with Anna Christie, which earned her the first of the four Oscar nominations she received throughout her life. She did not win the statuette on any occasion, but the Academy of Arts and Sciences awarded her an honorary Oscar in 1954, which she declined to collect. Her film career in the 1930s grew alongside some of the most important actors of the time, such as Robert Montgomery, Clark Gable and John Gilbert, to whom she got engaged. However, Garbo did not marry him, breaking off their relationship on the day of the wedding. Thus began the rumours about her solitary nature that accompanied her for the rest of her life. Seductive and reserved She was referred to as “The Divine”, “The Sphinx” and “the woman who never laughed”. Her enigmatic face has been considered one of the most beautiful on the silver screen. Ramón Novarro, her partner in Mata Hari (1931) said about her: “Garbo is everything a man could dream of. Besides being beautiful, she is seductive and full of mystery”.
SOLITARY NATURE One of the phrases that most defined Greta Garbo because of how often she would say it was “Leave me alone.” The Swedish actress wanted to keep well away from the glitz of Hollywood, offering the world her more mysterious side. “My life has been a journey of hideouts, back doors, secret elevators, and every possible way to go unnoticed, so as not to be bothered by anyone,” she stated in an interview. The actress never bothered to disguise her personality, which was for some mysterious, and for others, sullen. Allegedly, in the last interview she gave, the journalist began by saying, “I wonder if...”. Greta Garbo immediately stood up, putting an end to the interview. As she was leaving, she was heard to mutter, “Better not to wonder anything.”

After filming great successes, such as Queen Christina and Anna Karenina, Greta Garbo abandoned the cinema at the age of 36. Soon after, she applied for U.S. citizenship and went to live in a beautiful apartment near Central Park in New York, and surrounded by paintings by Renoir, Kandinsky and Pierre Bonard. Although she rubbed shoulders with the jet set and had powerful friends, such as the tycoon Aristotle Onassis, she nonetheless stayed away from the big Hollywood events. She dressed modestly, and when she went out, she would hide her face behind dark sunglasses and big hats to avoid being photographed, something she did not always achieve, as she continued to arouse interest until the end of her life. The American Film Institute named her the fifth best female star in the history of Hollywood, while she lived her life far away from the spotlight, with the small fortune that gave her successful real estate investments in the luxurious area of Rodeo Drive, in Los Angeles. In the 1980s, her health declined, and in 1990, at the age of 84, she died of pneumonia in New York City. Years later, her ashes were buried in the Skogskyrkogården cemetery in Stockholm. Her fortune, estimated at $20 million, was inherited by a niece. Her film legacy has lived on ever since.

UNA PERSONALIDAD SOLITARIA Una de las frases que más definen a Greta Garbo por la asiduidad con la que la decía es “dejadme sola”. La actriz sueca quiso vivir alejada de los destellos de Hollywood, ofreciendo al mundo su cara más misteriosa. “Mi vida ha sido una travesía de escondites, puertas traseras, ascensores secretos, y todas las maneras de pasar desapercibida para no ser molestada por nadie”, señaló en una entrevista. La actriz nunca se molestó en disimular su carácter, para algunos misterioso y para otros huraño. Cuentan que en la última entrevista que concedió el periodista comenzó diciendo: “Me pregunto si…”. Al instante, Greta Garbo se levantó dando por terminada la entrevista. Mientras se marchaba la oyeron murmurar: “Mejor no preguntarse nada”.

Consiguió trabajo en un almacén, que pronto la escogería para su campaña publicitaria, lo que le permitió darse a conocer para conseguir su primer papel en el cine, con la película La leyenda de Gosta Berling, en 1924. Un año más tarde Greta firmaría un contrato con la Metro Goldwyn Mayer, en lo que sería el inicio de una exitosa carrera cinematográfica. Tras varias películas de cine mudo, como Torrent, Flesh and the devil, Love o The divine woman, dio el salto al cine sonoro con Anna Christine, que le valió la primera de las cuatro nominaciones a los premios Oscar que recibió a lo largo de su vida. No consiguió ninguna estatuilla, pero la Academia de las Artes y las Ciencia le concedió un Oscar honorífico en 1954, que no quiso recoger. Su carrera en el cine, en los años 30, fue junto a algunos de los actores más importantes de la época, como Robert Montgomery, Clark Gable o John Gilbert, con quien llegó a estar prometida. Garbo no llegó a casarse con él, cortando su relación el mismo día de la boda. Comenzaron así los rumores sobre un carácter solitario que le acompañaron el resto de su vida. Seductora y reservada Fue conocida como “la divina”, “la esfinge” y “la mujer que no ríe”. Su rostro enigmático ha sido considerado como uno de los más bellos de la gran pantalla. Ramón Novarro, su com-
pañero en Mata Hari (1931) señalaba que “la Garbo es todo lo que un hombre podría soñar. Además de hermosa es seductora y está llena de misterio”. Tras rodar grandes éxitos, como La Reina Cristina de Suecia y Anna Karenina, Greta Garbo dejó el cine con tan solo 36 años. Poco después solicitó la nacionalidad estadounidense y se fue a vivir a un precioso apartamento en Nueva York, cerca de Central Park y rodeada de cuadros de Renoir, Kandinsky y Pierre Bonard. Aunque se codeaba con la jet y tenía amigos poderosos, como el magnate Aristóteles Onassis, se mantuvo, sin embargo, alejada de los grandes eventos de Hollywood. Vestía de forma humilde y cuando salía a la calle ocultaba su rostro tras unas gafas de sol oscuras y grandes sombreros para evitar ser fotografiada, algo que no siempre consiguió, ya que su figura siguió despertando interés hasta el final de su vida. El American Film Institute la nombró como quinta mejor estrella femenina de la historia de Hollywood mientras ella vivía alejada de los focos, con la pequeña fortuna que le dieron acertadas inversiones inmobiliarias en la lujosa zona de Rodeo Drive, en Los Ángeles. En la década de los 80 su salud se resintió y en 1990 murió víctima de la neumonía en la ciudad de Nueva York, a los 84 años. Años más tarde sus cenizas se enterraron en el cementerio Skogskyrkogarden de Estocolmo. Su fortuna, estimada en 20 millones de dólares, fue heredada por una sobrina. Su legado cinematográfico ha continuado vivo desde entonces.■ EXCLUSIVE LIFE MAGAZINE |

painting process itself. And let’s not forget about the impressionist colors that give us an idea of the excitement of the kids who dream of something as deep and noble as painting Without a doubt, it’s a language full of emotion that opens up the horizon of art with feelings and passion”. The exhibition was also visited by a famous artist Felipe Romero. He spoke with the children and gave his comments on their paintings: “I have seen an exhibition of children who are very involved with painting and who perform at high level, both in technique and creativity for such an early age. I quite liked it”. ■

I
believe that happiness is a choice and that it’s up to us to make the best of our lives. I’m deeply convinced that there is more in everyone than they think possible. Everyone has the chance to grow beyond themselves. Man is what he believes! Anton Chekhov What do you believe in? …… Beliefs are the true compass that’s guiding us towards our goals. Without believes and the ability to turn them into “action “, we would be totally disempowered. Beliefs help us to vision our goals and motivate us to create the world we want to live in. Beliefs create our reality. We as humans have the beautiful and powerful ability to be aware of our feelings, our values, our needs create skills and educate according to our goals. By putting our attention where we want to be, how we want to feel and what we want to achieve, we can take responsibility for our own behaviour. Our world starts with a vision and with the belief, that its possible! The pandemic was a shock for the world and for every single person on this planet. We find ourselves out of our comfort zone, in panic, uncertainty, financial disasters, confronted with emotional imbalanced partnership and the pain of loosing so many innocent humans because of Covid 19. We did not know what to believe in. Step by step we are getting out of this crisis. We are in a strenuous but steeply ascending learning curve. It’s a challenge and within that challenge we are allowed to grow again. We have the chance to believe. The chance to connect again to our endless resources, to step out of our comfort zone and be creative. The chance to stay focused and to achieve personal goals. The chance to train our resilience, to look for solutions. The chance to trust in our own potential. The believe of a compelling future can motivates us to prime ourselves every day how we want to perceive life. By awareness!!! The ability to appreciate what we have. We can step into gratefulness.
Instead of constantly swimming in the problem and creating our “No “mindset, we can prime ourselves into our “YES “mindset. By being aware of how we feel and what we need. Looking first at, “What is good?”, “What is working well at the moment!” and “What we can”, instead of what we cannot. Marbella can remind us, that we live in an outstanding, privileged, safe, European, natural beautiful place. Marbella is a paradise. Famous for its piercing illuminating light, that you can’t find anywhere in Europe. People from all over the world, The Kennedy family, Brigitte Bardot, John Connery and may more enjoyed the profound benefits of the Mediterranean Sea area, promoting health, vitality, and wellbeing. The untouched authentic Andalusian culture allow us to connect with the green mountains of Monda, Ronda or Ojen. Close to the impressively growing city of Malaga, progressively popping up with museums and theatres, we can be entertained as its best. We have an amazing variety of cuisine world class restaurants and at the same time we can be amused by fresh and healthy Mediterranean food from this region. The mix of international interesting people who live here in Marbella provides us with fun. Sotogrande giving that shine of sophisticated world class glamour. What else? More than ever during these difficult times, we must believe in the better by appreciating, what we have and how privileged we live. Focusing on the” simple things”- the fresh air, the warm sun, the clear sea, and the colourful surrounding. Marbella is the city of opportunities! Now it’s time to create your new “Yes” Zone! Accept this challenge as a chance and turn the situation in your favour.n Take the chance to think outside your roles and possibilities. Break boundaries and grow, be curious and believe from the deepest of your heart. ■ Franca Villarroel Emotional Business Consultant & Life Coach www.francamentefit.com

ALI RAD UNIQUE STYLE OF COACHING
A
li Rad has taken quite a journey to arrive in Marbella. He is very passionate about sport and coaching and highly educated in his field as a strength and conditioning specialist. We caught up with him to learn more about the stages of his career and his recent experience as an Olympic-level performance coach. Ali was a professional athlete himself and formed part of the national team of Iran in sprint kayak. “In my early 20’s, I moved to the United Kingdom and started working for the University of Southampton. I gained an MSc in Athletic Development and Peak Performance. Throughout a decade of collaboration with the university, I trained many athletes, from European champions to Olympic and world medalists.” Why do you like being a strength and conditioning coach? Strength and conditioning training is the foundation to all athletic endeavors because the sport-specific skills are built upon the athletic skills. It is crucial to apply
scientific knowledge to training athletes. When you are working with the best athletes in the world, you need to consider every little thing that could possibly make a big difference.’ Ali explains. In the course of his career Ali created a unique style of coaching that made him stand out in his field. Apart from individualised physical training, he carries out well-thought-out psychological interventions to develop holistic athleticism in his trainees. As a result, in 2019 Ali was chosen by the Chinese Olympic Committee to become a performance coach for the female Ice Hockey team as they prepare for the Beijing winter Olympics 2022. His work with the female Ice Hockey team is an example of Ali’s great coaching skills, evidenced as he came to be one of the best coaches of 2019 selected by Chinese Olympic Committee. What was it like working in China? “China was an incredible experience. We were living with athletes in an Olympic camp for the whole year. I was lucky

to have my wife with me as she is a performance coach, too and it was a big help. When you are training an Olympic host team the expectations are very high. You have to calculate athletes’ rest, recovery, nutrition and mental health. In this case you are not only a performance coach, but you also come to be a mentor, as they look up to you.” Why did you decide to move to Marbella, Spain? “We could not go back to China to be with the team due to COVID-19 pandemic. Marbella is visited by many professional athletes and has a strong fitness culture, so my wife and I decided to stay here and open our own performance studio ( for more information visit www.worldwideathlete.fitness). We work with any individual from any age and background to improve their health and fitness levels. It is a real benefit to have Ali with us in Marbella. We wish him the best for his career in Spain and congratulate him and his wife, Karolina, for their new baby boy. ■ Ali Rad Worldwideathlete Calle Vicente Alexandre, 2, 29660 Marbella worldwideathlete.team@gmail.com +34 691393428 www.worldwideathlete.fitness

NOBU HOTEL MARBELLA JUNTO A LA GINEBRA ARTESANAL JAPONESA, ROKU GIN, ROKU GIN, OFRECEN UNA EXPERIENCIA GASTRONÓMICA HECHA A MEDIDA PARA CELEBRAR EL LANZAMIENTO DEL NOBU BAR La chef ejecutiva de Nobu Marbella, Eleni Manousou, ha realizado un trabajo creativo especial junto a Rodrigo Tartaglia, head bartender del Nobu Bar. El resultado ha sido la creación de un menú de maridaje, en el que cada plato al estilo Nobu estará combinado con un cóctel a base de Roku Gin que ayudará a conseguir una armonía entre los sabores. Roku, que en japonés significa “seis”, es una ginebra artesanal premium perfectamente equilibrada y con un sabor distinto. La particularidad de esta se encuentra en los seis botánicos japoneses ( flor de Sakura, hoja de Sakura, piel de Yuzu, té Sencha, té Gyokuro y pimienta Sansho) que se recogen solo cuando están en su punto justo de maduración, según la estación del año, lo que permite alcanzar los niveles máximos de sabor y perfección.
