Alejandro Sanz remembers his childhood in Cádiz and his love for the land of his parents

  • Writing: ANA GARCÍA ROMERO

Alejandro Sanz remembers his childhood in Cádiz and his love for the land of his parentsHow was the idea of writing this book born? They called me from the Planeta publishing house to propose it, and they gave me total freedom to write it, but at first I was not clear about the common thread. I was always writing down in a notebook the important things that happened in my life so as not to forget them, especially my family and my children. I remember one day it was raining heavily in Miami and my three-year-old son Dylan exclaimed looking through the glass, "Life, life until, life." We were shocked by the "little philosopher". It occurred to me to compile these notes and write for my children a kind of manual in the form of a letter so that they know each other, and dare to be themselves, leaving their own mark on life. I imagine that flees from being the typical "mama coñazo" I try to learn for themselves, to know each other so much that they can withstand each other in any circumstance without destroying themselves. Also that they use strength and sensitivity in equal parts. And that they do not become spoiled, I would be frightened to see them turned into useless and conceited children!! What formula does it transmit to them? In the book I tell you that fear and ego are our worst enemies, it is necessary to know oneself and acquire awareness to lead a full life. There are two realities, the internal one and that of the external world, and in that dance, in knowing how to integrate both, is the key. They must also learn to manage suffering, without avoiding it, because fear takes us away from what we want to be. I am a very lucky woman, I grew up surrounded by love, I have suckled that of my parents who are now going to celebrate their 50 years of marriage and want to renew their vows. But this is not always the case. I feel in a good moment of some happiness, yes. Anyway, happiness is acquired through its filters where love for oneself and for others is one of the main motivators of happiness. At first there were moments of great tension in their divorce. Have they managed to overcome them? For me all that is in the past. I had bet unconditionally on Alejandro, I experienced love with him at its maximum power and that is why the pain was very great, but if I had tried to avoid it, there would not have been such a feeling. After going down to hell, you assume that a relationship is over and you must stay with the good. I did not make financial demands, I only asked him to protect and take care of us and now he is doing it. We currently have an excellent relationship and we are friends, he was the first person to whom I sent my book. He told me it was beautiful and would be a great gift for our children.How did your children take the big change of coming from Miami to Madrid? What affected them most was the change of country and school, because in Miami they had their environment and their friends. They did not suffer just because of the breakup, we explained that we would no longer live together but we were going to love them all our lives, in fact I decided to settle in Madrid and now we live in Pozuelo, next to their father, so they could be with him. For you also had to be quite hard change. It was difficult for me to build a new life here, it was difficult to locate myself again, I lost my identity. But the door to mental health was opened for me, I have a degree in psychology and with my friend the psychologist and disseminator Efrén Martínez we launched an online psychotherapy platform in the middle of the pandemic.e, Therapy to a clic.com, to help people who were having a hard time. I also write a blog in ¡Hola!, De cuentos y verdades. Now I have two projects: to make an audiovisual format, perhaps on television, aimed at personal growth and also to teach both online and face-to-face courses on this subject. After living in Miami for many years, have you found a very different Spain when you returned? Not only in Spain, in the whole world people go too fast, wanting to conquer you do not know what, without becoming aware or prioritizing what is important. The pandemic, far from making us more supportive, has made us more individualistic and selfish. Moreover, most politicians seem more interested in staying in government than governing. After your divorce, some romances have been attributed to you, how is your love life currently? At first I stopped liking myself, I was not able to perceive my beauty, but now I have loved myself again and I recognize myself, because I have relocated myself in my two current realities, therefore I am ready to fall in love again and enjoy love.
