Alba Flores

(Madrid, 1986), whose blood ties alone are already easy to identify with her last name.

Some ties that have forged an artistic character that, instead of leading to music like her grandparents, her aunts and her father, has turned towards acting.

With that ancestry, and with her time in Vis a Vis or La casa de papel, it is not surprising that she is one of the protagonists of Manolo Caro's latest project for Netflix:

Sagrada familia

Although here it has nothing to do with the sacred.

In your case, how important is the family you come from? Perhaps since my family is public it seems more obvious, but for all of us the family is very important, it is the structure that determines our day to day life. yours? Especially in the luck of having been able to say that I had an artistic vocation and they never turned against me.

Many friends were sent to study for a career when they said they wanted to be actresses and I have only had support. Does having the surname Flores also condition towards the negative sometimes? I have only felt it in the face of the press because of the use that is wanted to be made of my family's lives.

That has been the hardest, but in terms of the profession it has not been complicated in that sense. Although it comes from your father's side, the surname Flores is closely linked to women of character,

There are things that would be treated differently because the focus would be elsewhere. Well, the audiovisual world was supposed to be the most open.

Yes,

but it is a reflection of our world and we see it as we evolve.

And luckily we evolved because there are many people who resist change.Almost all your characters have an overwhelming character, how much of that do you have in life?Less than people imagine.

They always give me very strong characters, but I am quite docile in my life.

With this one from Caterina, I am united by the curious character, I love knowing and interfering, that is why I am in this profession.

I like to know how people live, how they manage their problems, what concerns they have, how the world works. Another of the topics in this series is the pressure on women at certain ages with motherhood. I experience that a lot, they ask me Always journalists.
