And I feel super privileged.

(INTERVIEW) "How would you like to be remembered?

-Then...

With a phrase that I have practiced and that I have put

in the foreword to my latest book.

It is a phrase from Don Quixote:

'Changing the world, Sancho, is not madness or utopia,

but justice'".

(Music)

Carlos Falcó was a Quixote

that changed the world from these fields.

In his work as an agricultural engineer, he revolutionized crops

to export all over the planet the flavors of this land.

A legacy that will be perpetuated over time

despite his loss due to COVID-19.

My father goes to the hospital on a Thursday. So they take samples

and send him home.

And on Saturday they call him and tell him that he has pneumonia.

My father was at home.

Suddenly, he didn't answer our mobile,

we knew he was sleeping and such.

And my sister convinces him to put on a thermometer.

And sure enough, he had a fever.

So, my brother Manolole managed an ambulance

for him to get there and take him to a hospital.

So, there he himself gets scared.

(Music)

And the truth is that he he from the hospital

send a very positive message...

Like: "There's nothing like public health.

They gave me some great sandwiches,

I have a view of a park...".

(LAUGHS) A message for us not to worry

in the least, you know?

But if you talk to him, you'd think he's at the Ritz.

(LAUGHS) The best place.

(INTERVIEW) "There is an old Castilian saying that is

'nobility obliges'. And I understand it that way".

Every time we talk to him

my father was getting more and more out of breath.

He cost her.

He had a hard time finishing a sentence.

The truth is that it was all very fast.

What I didn't know is that...

He walked in on a Sunday night

and on Wednesday they were taking him to the ICU.

I did not know that my father had already been intubated,

they had sedated him and that no longer...

He was no longer going to have... I mean, he was no longer going to respond.

Especially in that situation where you can't go see him.

He is quite distressed,

because I remember that on Friday,

when my sister Sandra calls me to tell me that she has passed away.

-The blow of his father was very hard

and we were in lockdown.

So, he had all the support of the family.

-I remember when they gave me the news

and that hug he gives me.

And my sister Anase started crying with me.

There is a special sensitivity because she also lost her father.

I think that too...

She knew what it meant.

-I will always remember him. We will all remember him.

All my family. Much.

(INTERVIEW) "I was born there, in that wonderful

Palace of the Dueñas, which belongs to the house of Alba,

who were relatives of ours."

-Born in Dueñas. Yes, yes. They went a lot.

I still have their Great Power robes.

The Marquis of Griñón was born in the Palace of Las Dueñas

in Seville.This monumental setting

witnessed the first breath of him.

The environment of the farewell was very different from him.

His children had to say goodbye in privacy,

with the painful restrictions of a funeral in the midst of a pandemic.

That moment is very complicated. That one cannot hold a funeral,

so we made a little responsory

in which we were only the brothers,

with a priest, but it wasn't even a mass.

It was just a little prayer.

(Music)

In the response that we had with all the brothers,

and that all his things and such were there,

there was a photo of him... My brother had left him beautiful.

There were like very wild flowers.

There were the red roses, her cane,

because he always walked with a cane.

Before you need it. He liked to walk with a cane through the fields.

It was a very emotional moment but it also helped us a lot.

to assess and see a little about that situation

If this has happened, it has already happened. You know?

In the end, somehow.

More than a year after losing him,

Tamara and her brothers organize her father's funeral.

They honored his memory in one of the favorite temples

of the Marquis, the Basilica of San Francisco el Grande in Madrid.

The infanta Elena came on behalf of the king.

Among the attendees, was also the Duke of Alba.

It was a very nice funeral.

It had been a long time since he had attended a funeral.

so beautiful and so exciting.

-That space...

It's gone. But it's true that...

I'm going to be here like Obi-Wan Kenobi,

somehow I feel him.

I mean, I feel him, you know?

I feel him, I felt him a lot the first few days.

I prayed a lot too.

It helped me a lot to listen to the Pope.

The plenary indulgence he gave to COVID patients.

I all that, the truth...

Yes, for me it is also a treasure.

(Music)

-My friendship with Carlos Falcó has been so important...

It has been family.

He will remain in my memories as the best friend I ever had.

And also that memory will fill our hearts

to fill the void that he has left us.

(Music)

For society, Carlos Falcó was the affable Marquis

that revolutionized the agricultural industry

with his work as an entrepreneur.

But he was much more: a great human being.

Those who loved him today discover the qualities

of a unique man.

Carlos Falcó, the Marquis of Griñón, what he was, was a gentleman.

-It's true, because he was.

It didn't matter if he was with the taxi driver from Sotogrande,

that he was kind, that with the king.

We all receive condolences from both.

(INTERVIEW) "Receiving a title and an estate like that,

Can it become a burden? -A burden for sure.

It is much better to receive a checking account

or a huge block of shares on the stock market".

-That was my father. In other words, everything you asked of him,

if it was in his hand, he did it.

- Tamara?

He has inherited the enormous goodness

and the great, great generosity.

-When Barboury hired me suddenly he had to go

to New Castle to see the factory and such,

They were very excited that my father would go.

And on top of him they lost his suitcase!

(LAUGHS) They lost her suitcase

and he had to go to that dinner without socks.

-"Many people think that having heritage

or inherit this type of buildings,

one receives state aid for maintaining them. Do not.

-Zero.

-But do you pay garbage taxes, IBI or not?

-Everything, everything. Absolutely everything.

-He was someone affable, that is, he was someone...

He was innocent.

I mean, he was like a little kid until he passed away.

I don't know how to tell you, he is one of those people...

And I don't mean immature, I mean that...

To that curiosity, to that...

That is, in fact, in some respects,

Mario reminds me a lot of him because he has also preserved that.

because of what other people do or have to do

or they can provide

So, I have a definite taste,

I don't know if it's good or if it's bad. -Does it coincide with Isabel's?

My father was very elegant in the way he dressed.

We arrived, we can two piece of suits.

If not, the best we had. (LAUGHS)

tears of laughter fell from your eyes, it was my uncle Fernando.

-"My brother Fernando.- How do you get along with him?

He went to the same school as me. He was with the king in Las Jarillas."

-With my uncle Fernando your stomach ached with laughter.

My father was more good. My uncle Fernando had

the fang a little more twisted. Funnier still.

(Music)

"Do you carry it between the two of you?

-We have carried it between the two, but perhaps I am

the one who most frequently deals with this topic,

Fernando, as he runs the club, is very busy."

My father was someone who said things in a tone

very good and who always looked at life

in a very positive way.

Tamara Falcó's father always faced with positivity

the setbacks of life and the setbacks of the heart.

He was a gentleman who elegantly admitted the end of a love.

(Music)

Yes, it is true that in the sentimental trajectory

of the Marquis of Griñón, Isabel Preysler was not the only

that she had to end the marriage because it comes from her

a third in discord, Miguel Boyer.

Also his first wife, Jeannine Girod.

They lived with them, on Arga street,

Xandra and Manolo Falcó,

who were the eldest sons of Carlos.

-I have memories of them... I mean, they also took us...

When the girl freed,

They took us to the movies. I remember seeing a movie

like "Gremlins", that I was scared to death,

or "Star Wars." Because on Sundays we went to the movies.

And we had pizza for dinner.

(PROGRAM) "Today in 'Open Studio' we have

to an illustrious and very popular couple:

the Marquises of Griñón, Isabel and Carlos Falcó.

I wonder what is the reason why they have come,

because usually they are not friends to go

before the television cameras.

-It is true that the image is sometimes distorted

according to some moments of your life.

He was the husband of Isabel Preysler,

it was the last marriage that he starred in very scandalous ...

But Carlos had so much more

than a face on the coated paper.

-They started to get out of shape

as discreet as possible. She was a neighbor

by Carmen Martinez-Bordiu,

in the same house in the Argüelles neighborhood.

and carmen too

ended their relationship, their marriage

with Alfonso de Bourbon and Dampierre.

They had a lot of complicity

and they longed to be free again.

-Carmen Martínez-Bordiú did...

She did a lot... She spoke very well to my father about my mother,

to my mother from my father and such.

-Isabel falls in love too

of Carlos Falcó and they start a clandestine relationship.

-"Isabel was a friend of a film producer who was a close friend of mine, José Vicuña,

with whom we would later make a very famous film.

He as producer, Berlanga as director

and me as the owner of the house where the filming was done.

The movie is called 'The National Shotgun.'"

(MOVIE) "Good morning.

Than? No one?

That there is no one?

- What's going on? - There's no place for this, Mr. Marquis.

"Wait a minute. Take a good look."

-"This friend had the representation of Warner

and the movie he invited us to was 'Saturday Night Fever'.

With John Travolta.

-John Travolta.-And there it was...

Then he invited Isabel and me.

(Music "Saturday Night Fever")

-When Isabel Preysler and Carlos Falcó met

It was when Isabel was already very bad

in her marriage to Julio Iglesias.

Julio was already an artist, he was more outside than inside.

# Looking at people...

My mother,

when she and uncle Julio break up,

looking for a profile other than Uncle Julio.

# I'm from a place

# where the wind # calms down upon arrival.

My father, everything he had heard about her...

That she was an exemplary mother,

that she was super dependent on her children,

that she had simply been unlucky in her first marriage.

I think that was attractive to my father.

# I don't even like it when someone who can't speak speaks.

The two felt very alone, because mommy, the truth,

she had had an experience... You know?

Uncle Julio was traveling all day too, so...

I think they finally kept each other company.

# No matter the ideal of him. #

(SINGS) "And what is he like? Where did he fall in love with you?"

Well, Carlos said that Julio

I had commissioned Perales that song,

a little asking Isabel who she had fallen in love with

and he was the Marquis of Griñón, right?

# Because he has stolen # a piece of my life.

# He is a thief

# that he has stolen everything from me.

# And how is he? #

-You could see them, both Isabel and Carlos,

they looked very affectionate

and at that time we asked Isabel

present records at the Long Play nightclub in Madrid.

(INTERVIEW) "Why has Isabel been the godmother of this album?

-Well, when they asked me, I was very excited.

because they have been very happy on two occasions in my life: my wedding

and the baptism of my daughter Tamara".

-We sang at the wedding, I don't know.-At that time,

the repertoire was...

(SING) "Where is Domitilla going?

Where is she going with a manila shawl, where is she going? Hey."

-"What does she have with this woman? Can she be defined with a word?

-Perhaps the word would be 'serenity'".

I was super in love with my mother.

and the marriage with my mother did not go well, but I was the fruit

of that love where he had given everything,

and that love was transmitted to me.

-Besides, we had Tamara,

that she was the most important thing along with our other children

In our life.

(INTERVIEW) "On June 2, Isabel Preysler

went to the family court number 22 of Madrid

to ratify the divorce petition.

Carlos Falcó did not do it,

but he is a gentleman and he will come in the next few days.

-Two years ago we signed a series of papers

that our lawyers drafted by mutual agreement

and then from those papers,

a calendar and a series of processes are being fulfilled

which are purely for formalities, nothing more".

-In the beginning, it was not very easy.

It was a bit of a difficult season.

but later, passing the time.

We became more friends and more friends

to be really good friends.

That's one thing I've always been grateful for.

"Can one forget

that you have been married to Isabel Preysler?

-No. Besides, there is no reason to forget anything.

I add up my whole life, not only those seven years, but the previous ones."

-So we had to see each other, we had to talk,

and then Carlos, who was a great man,

made it very easy.

-My mother felt very guilty for having left him.

I think she made an extra effort

and she saw my mother really devastated and said:

"Isabel, if you are like this, you are the one who has left him,

How can I be?

- "We were a total of seven years.

-Seven years.-Two before we got married.

-And from there your daughter Tamara was born.

-My daughter Tamaranació in the year 81".

-My mother, she had a terrible time. She always says

that if she doesn't fall in love with my uncle Miguel,

she wouldn't have left her marriage because she was fine.

(Music)

He told me with a strange bitterness in him,

"We invite you to my country house,

He smoked my cigars, drank my whiskey and took my daughter."

-What happens is that she fell in love locally with uncle Miguel.

"How many indents do all these stories leave in one?

-I think that life, and experiences like the ones I've lived,

they leave dents, that is, they leave wounds, but they also leave satisfaction.

It is enough for me to look at Tamara, my daughter, to understand it."

-I think that, in the end, I came into her life at a very good time.

So in the end I was able to enjoy it as a father

for almost 40 years of life, which is also... well, it's a luxury.

-His father, well, good to him, and said:

"Los del Río made a song for my Tamara

when I birth her and from her when I baptize her."

-He called me Tamaroni.

It is something that only he has called me.

# -Tamara, incense and aroma.

# Tamara, rosemary flower.

# Tamara, where there is no heat

# just by naming you there is fire. #

-Tamara.

Tamara is... How to explain? Let's see...

You don't know what you're going to find.

# -It's my night.# My night has come.

# This is my night. # Also your night.

# One more year # Christmas returns. #

-A horny. Sorry for the word.

It's more; She's nice. I laugh with her.

# -It's my night.# -My night has come.

# -This is my night.# -Also your night. #

-Everyone thinks she's that posh girl. No. She is like that.

She-she seems like a very natural girl, very nice.

-She's like a rattlesnake, Tamara. She is like ...

I don't know, she's like a cuddly kitty

that she exudes good vibes, to put it in a vulgar way.

Long live Tamara. Hey.

# -Smile, love and friendship. #

-Her As a child she was just like her father.

I looked the same.

I have been told many times

that my personalities very similar to yours.

To me she is a compliment.

-She She has always been the same as her father.

"She's very outgoing. She's very sensitive, at the same time.

And she's tremendously caring."

-As a child she told me: "You're totally Asian."

Now they tell me:"You are totally..."

My mother told me: "You're Falcó, how you laugh and such".

I don't know. I think I'm half and half.

-Over the years, as she has been taking my things,

people said: "she looks more like her mother".

I have always seen that Tamara was just like her father.

-I think I'm 50-50, really.

-"It is that Tamara and I have a certain friendship.

Sit here with me. You know, Isabel? It's my friend Tamara.

Sit here. Do you know that we have, apart from the common dog,

the same hairbrush? -Oh, yes?

"Isn't that right, Tamara? Isn't that true?"

-I remember the passion that Carlos had for her daughter Tamara de ella.

-"I think that in our case, which is the one I can talk about,

There was a very strong bond between Isabel and me.

But having a daughter has been another very important link.

She has closed the family circle and made it more united."

-With my father I talked about everything.

-How did Carlos take Tamara's mystical drift?

Well, I guess with humor.

-"If she told me: 'Mommy, I want to be a nun'.

What do you want me to tell you? Would she accept it?"

-The truth is that when I consider my vocation,

he tells me: "I don't see you there".

But he never said to me, "You can't come in."

-Carlos wanted to see Tamara happy:

she married, single, with children or without children. But she happy.

My father was excited that I had a family.

It was his little girl and such, and he told me many times.

-"Are we going to see Tamaraposar with someone here?

-That, already, more complicated. This imposes a lot".

He got very excited when there was a suitor

that could fit him.

He was very happy.

(BEATRIZ) -If Carlos saw her, he would be delighted.

Not because Íñigo Onieva is someone special or ceases to be

but because he is the person who makes Tamara happy.

(EUGENIA)-He is a nice boy who has his job.

We wish them to last forever.

-It makes me a little sad

yes, you know, I'm getting married, my father won't be there

to take me to the altar. That does make me very sad.

-"Very happy. I think any father of a bride

He is very happy on his daughter's wedding day."

-If I had children, I would love to talk to them about his grandfather.

Talk to them about what a great lady he was.

Teach them that love for the countryside that he transmitted to me.

In the event that one of those children...

Of course, he would inherit the title of his grandfather,

I would love to see those values ​​reflected in those children.

-"Planting a vineyard is one thing... It is for the children and grandchildren.

And the truth is that he has given me pleasant surprises."

The Marquis of Griñón has transmitted to Tamara her father's love

and her affection for wine.

Carlos himself called his friend Josep Roca,

sommelier at El Celler de Can Roca,

to help his daughter prepare

as a contestant on "Masterchef Celebrity".

(JOSEP) What does Tamarade her father have?

The only thing I can talk about is those mirror neurons

and it's how her daughter's father talks.

In this sense, I remember very well when he called me

to ask me if there was the possibility

that her daughter Tamara could be with us in the kitchen

practicing, learning, doing a little stage

for preparing her for a cooking contest.

-Sure, because my father was delighted.

When he passed the "Masterchef" ...

-"Tamara!"

-It was nice to hear you.

It was endearing a father talking about his spoiled girl.

-He went to places and people told him:

“I love your daughter, I don't know what.” He called me and said:

“It's because I'm Tamara's father now.” He said it with delight.

Just at Christmas

he had written me a beautiful letter

telling me how proud he was of me,

like... super pretty.

For me it is a treasure.

He relieves me a lot. My father was super happy for me.

-"We are enjoying watching her cook in 'Masterchef'.

She is with us today Tamara Falcó ".

Carlos lived with pride the start of his media career

of his daughter on TVE.

"Which is my camera? -This.

Tell me what kind of man are you looking for?

Where he has shown his sympathy and self-confidence.

"What stress."

(Music)

Besides Tamara, he also had another passion.

Emiliano García-Page, president of the community board

from Castilla La Mancha, remember that love

for the Casa de Vacas farm.

The Marquis of Griñón became the ambassador of Castilla La Mancha.

He liked the relationship with the field.

He felt very comfortable on the field.

In fact, his facilities and his home were very rustic.

He has felt attached to the land.

-He would go and take his walks. He connected with nature.

But she was someone affable. So she was someone innocent.

-"What is this, of the weddings that are celebrated here?

- Or from a movie.

-Do you have more income from weddings or film shoots?

-Shooting".

-Looking back, you realize that it is

passionate about the countryside and who had many projects.

(Music)

I remember my childhood very much in the countryside,

spending every weekend with him in the field side by side.

-I like the countryside, I like it a lot. I don't know why, but it's true

It has always been said that I did not like it. No way.

-She told me that she had not been lucky enough to have a field,

but that was why she had built a large garden in Miraflores.

- "Are the children of Carlos Falcó going to inherit it?

-It is important to have spent, not all childhood,

but important phases of childhood and youth in the countryside.

That has been the case for me. It is also the case for my children."

-We had sheep going for a walk.

Him carrying me in his arms when I got tired.

Later I learned the trick and told him: "Arms."

He told me: "Tamara, you have to do something."

-I remember uncle Carlos, Carlos Falcó.

When I was very little I still lived in Spain.

-My children, the best memories they have,

among the best memories are

weekends and seasons in the field.

-"What relationship did you have with Carlos Falcó?

-He was a very nice person, very funny,

With a great sense of humor".

-I have memories of my brothers. We used to go for night walks.

We had some flashlights and stuff. I remember a lot of kids, a lot of fuss.

-Carlos taught them to hunt, to fish.

We were riding horses.

-"My aunt, my father's sister. She was the Marchioness of Manzanedo.

- Is this you? - Yes. Me, as a youngster.

- Is the hobby of the nobility for hunting maintained?

-Yes. Small game, partridges.

Also sometimes hunts in Extremadura.

-On weekends I went to the countryside. It was like my passion

go hunting, go fishing, go

to the farm. We went to Casa de Vacas.

-"As children, I have fantastic childhood memories with him.

Other than that, he loved children.

And you could tell he loved them. He spent a lot of time with us.

He had a lot of patience with everyone, because there were a lot of us."

-They enjoyed a lot with the sheep.

They brought all the friends they wanted.

And they had a great time.

-Now I'm a vegetarian. I don't even like to kill a cockroach.

It's something else. How life changes.

-"But it didn't last long.- You lived here in Spain, with them.

-I lived with them. It was before I went to England.

I lived with them, but it didn't last long."

-See if Carlos behaved well with my children

Julio and Carlos once coincided at a dinner in Miami.

Julio approached him to thank him

for how he had behaved with my children,

how good he had been with them and how affectionate, always,

with Chábeli, Julio and with Enrique.

- "Do you love the children of a previous marriage equally?

than the current marriage? Do you love each other equally?

-To your own? -Yes.

-Of course.

-Isabel, do you share this opinion? -Yes".

-I think it is very difficult to get along,

but I think it is essential for the good of the children.

Especially since it is a very traumatic situation for everyone.

-Yes, Julio was very good. Carlos was very happy about that.

-Es fundamental que las parteshagan un esfuerzo por llevarse bien

por los que forman partede esa familia.

Eso es algo que mi madretenía claro y mi padre también.

-"¿Los hijosde una primera relación son

un obstáculopara una segunda relación?

-Creo que, probablemente,es el problema más importante

aunque se enfrentea un segundo matrimonio".

El marqués de Griñónha transmitido

el cariño por el campoa todos sus hijos por igual.

De su primer matrimoniocon Jeannine Girod nacieron

sus hijos mayores,Manuel y Xandra.

Manolo, un ser extraordinarioque yo creo que hereda

ese gran señorío, ¿verdad?,esa elegancia como persona

que tenía su padre Carlos.

-"El mayor me está llevando,desde hace años,

el aspectode negocios financieros".

-Manolo, que vale mucho,es una persona inteligente y culta.

-Su hijo mayor, Manuel Falcó,era un poco el que llevaba

el control económico y se habíaconvertido en propietario.

(MARINA) -La boda de Manolo fuepreciosa. En Casa de Vacas.

Recuerdo unas palabras que dijo

Camilo Joséen la cena previa a la boda

que hizo que se nos saltaranlas lágrimas a los que estaban.

Carlos lo recordaba siempre.Manolo sigue recordándolo.

-"He aprendido de la familia.Ya con tener un padre así

que ha estado metidose aprenden muchas cosas

y cuanto más escondido estésmejor estás".

-Tamara es muy Falcó y quieremucho a sus hermanos mayores.

-Yo conozco a Xandradesde hace muchísimos años.

Creo que es una persona admirableque tiene un talento especial

y que en el mundo del vinonos hace mucha falta.

-"Nosotros somos

la primera denominación de origende pago del vino en España.

Queríamos un aceite parecido".

-Era como su mano derechaen el vino

y con quien tenemosuna gran relación.

-Mi hermana Xandratrabajaba y era su fortaleza.

-"La pequeña está muy bieny la mayor se va a casar,

o sea que muy bien".

-Xandra se casaba con el hijotambién de unos amigos nuestros,

de Jaime Carvajal e Isabel Hoyos,marqueses de Isasi.

-"Se casa como lo hacenhoy las chicas, pensándoselo bien

y con 30 años, de forma que haceun matrimonio inteligente.

Y con amor, que es importante".

-Fue... en el Palacio de Plasencia.

Fue una boda muy bonita.

(Soft music)

"Supone la boda de mi hermana.

I don't know. No sé,es que estoy muy emocionada".

Mi padre tenía unos detallazos...

Hacerle botellas especialesa mi hermana Xandra

por su boda, en plan con un poemaescrito por él.

-"Consejos, no soy la más indicada,dado como me salió a mí.

Más guapa callada.

-Se casa con un gran chicocomo Jaime de Carvajal.

Que es hijo de amigos,además".

-Son momentos tan importantesque hemos compartido,

porque realmente éramosmás que amigos. Éramos familia.

-Mi padre quería muchísimo a todos.A todos.

Yo le hacía mucha gracia,

pero mi hermana Aldaratambién le hacía gracia.

Era muy monaporque era más pequeña que yo.

-"La hija del marqués.-La hija del marqués. Xandra. Sí.

-¿Vive en un palacio,como su padre?

-Do not. Vivo en un piso en Madrid,porque mi marido trabaja

en el mundo financiero y mis hijasvan al colegio en Madrid".

-Desgraciadamente, Jaime hijofalleció hace no mucho.

Pues una desolación tremenda,

porque en un mismo añoperdió a su padre ya su marido.

El legado de Carlos se perpetúaa través de sus viñedos

de sus hijos Manuel, Sandray Tamara,

y de Duarte y Aldara, los niñosque tuvo con Fátima de la Cierva.

(Music)

Al poco tiempo de conocernos,

digamos a los dos o tres años,

contrajo matrimonio con Fátimaen una ceremonia muy íntima.

-"Creo que es una persona discreta,

preocupada con los temas sociales.Ha hecho la carrera

de Asistente Social y se dedicafundamentalmente a eso".

-Con Fátima, más de 20 añosde unión ha sido muy feliz.

-"Este es un bulldog francés.Es de Duarte, mi hijo menor.

-¿Cuántos perros hay en casa?-Aquí hay cinco perros".

-Ese fue un matrimonio muy discretoporque Fátima siempre quiso

estar en la sombra,siempre como un low profile,

un perfil muy bajo.

-Es una mujer que por la callenadie la reconoce,

nadie sabe que ha sido la mujerdel marqués de Griñón.

-Para no robar protagonismoa su marido,

que era quien realmente lo tenía.

El matrimonio con Fátimatambién acabó en ruptura.

Se convirtióen su relación más duradera.

La vida de Carlos fue un viajeen que encontró cuatro esposas.

La última fue Esther Doña.

"Antes de nada felicitarte,darte la enhorabuena.

Te acabas de casar.-El 22 de julio".

-Me la presentó entusiasmadoy dijo: "Fíjate qué guapa es".

-El tema de su viuda,de su última mujer,

pues ella lo ha declaradoen varias ocasiones.

Carlos le dejó el usufructode las propiedades.

-Esther no cayó bien en su familia,en la familia Falcó.

Se lo callaron y no dijeron nadaporque son gente muy respetuosa.

-Ella ha vuelto a la casa que teníade soltera a las afueras de Madrid.

-Hubo ahí unos episodios...

incomprensiblespara un señor como Carlos.

De violencia verbal.Y eso acabó mal.

-"Lo que me dijeron esque 'usted se casa mucho

porque se ha casado dos veces'.Dije: 'Voy a un promedio

de un matrimonio cada 25 años.No es tanto'.

No he hecho ningún vaticiniosobre el futuro".

-Un hombre de éxitocon las mujeres.

Con mujeres muy extraordinarias

que lo acompañarona lo largo de su vida

y que le dieronunos hijos magníficos.

(BEATRIZ) -Tuvo hijoscon sus tres mujeres.

Tenía mucho públicoentre las señoras

porque tenía muchos ingredientes.

-Que era un gran señor.Y su bondad.

-"¿Era usted antes, tal vez,o tenía imagen de un playboy?

-I don `t believe. La verdad esque yo salía poco en las revistas.

Con alguna excepción, pero...

Espero que tampoco tengaesa imagen ahora.

-No".

-Carlos era muy atractivo.

-Desde sus andares, que eranmuy característicos y elegantes,

hasta su sonrisa, hasta un gestoasí que hacía doblando el cuello,

así como mimoso.

-"Yo le diría que no tieneimagen de playboy.

A lo mejor no le gustalo que le voy a decir.

Tiene usted, últimamente, imagende un hombre que ha sufrido.

-¿Sí?-Es la que a mí me da.

-Será porque he adelgazado".

-Un hombre muy atractivo. Además,una persona muy interesante.

-"¿Alguna novia aceitunera actualde la cual se pueda hablar?

-No".

-Se le relacionó con muchas mujeresimportantes de la época.

Para empezar, con una primade la reina de Inglaterra,

Alejandra de Kent,que estaba, por lo visto,

muy interesada por él. Y él, menos.

-"¿A usted le molestaría,

no que habláramosde su vida íntima, privada...

A usted le molestaría que nosotrostratáramos de ver qué le pasa

a una persona cuando de prontose ve metida en un follón?

Quiero decir...¿Oye el clic de los fotógrafos?

-Sí lo oigo.-No están por mí.

Están por usted.-¿Seguro?"

-Está la famosa historiao ese noviazgo

o esa relación no oficialque tuvo con Christina Onassis,

la multimillonaria heredera.

Cuentan que, cuando se conocieron,ella se quedó rendida

a los encantos del marqués.

-"¿Hubo algo o no tuviste nada...?

-Christina vino a una caceríacon su madre. Yo conocía

a otros amigos griegosde su madre.

Entonces ahí nos conocimos.Luego vino a España bastante".

(EUGENIA) -Perdió la cabezapor Carlos. La perdió literalmente.

Apareció un día en una carreterahaciendo autostop a un camión.

La llevó a la fincadonde estaba Carlos cazando.

"-Ella sí se enamoró.-La consideré siempre una amiga.

Pero fue una relación de amistad".

-Claro que ha roto corazones.Muchos.

-Yo conocía a una modeloaustraliana que estaba con él.

-El marqués no era fanfarrón.Él era un señor en ese sentido.

No hablaba de las mujeresque habían pasado por su vida.

-"Yo tengo que decirque nunca he sido machista.

Tengo un absoluto despreciohacia esa actitud.

En ese sentido, piensoque una relación se termina

muchas veces sin culpade ninguna de las partes".

-En el amor, Carlosno siempre ha sido feliz;

pero en general sí ha sido feliz.

(Music)

Lo que hizo feliz al marquésfue innovar en el mundo del vino.

Su bodega era su sueño

desde antes de estudiaren la universidad.

Tuvo que romper la tradición

para alcanzar el éxitoen su negocio.

Mi padre era cero tradicional.

Había tenido una educaciónsupertradicional,

pero había vivido también...

Creo que le abrió mucho la menteLovaina, estudiar en Bélgica.

-"Era el estudiante más jovende la universidad. Tenía 17 años.

Había otros españoles. Muy pocos.Cuatro o cinco.

Nos íbamos a Bruselas.Hacíamos autostop.

-¿Sí?-Salíamos a las discotecas.

Nunca había vistoa una mujer desnuda. The first time

fue en un cabaret de Bruselasque se llamaba

'Le boeuf sur le toit',El buey sobre el tejado".

-Cuando vuelve, es una personacon la mente más abierta.

También era su naturaleza.Él era distinto a mucha gente,

a muchos de sus amigos y tal.Entonces... era distinto.

-"Me encanta llamarme viticultor,porque tengo una carrera

que es la de Ingeniero Agrónomo.Siempre me ha encantado

y me he dedicado profesionalmentea la agricultura, al campo".

-A mí me tenía loco con el vino.-Unos vinos, unos vinos.

-Siempre disfrutandoen torno a una copa de vino,

una copa de buen vinode marqués de Griñón.

-"Eso iba a decir,nadie apostaba por ti.

-Nadie. Era una zona de graneles.Nunca se había vendido...

Le pregunté a mi abuelocómo se vendía el vino. 'A granel'.

Digo: 'Nadie va a saberque viene de aquí'".

-Era un hombre precursor,le gustaba el campo.

Le gustaba todo lo relacionadocon la investigación.

-"Se están celebrando dos cosas.

Una es el 200 aniversariode la casa.

Al mismo tiempo,la inauguración de la bodega".

-En Castilla La Mancha se produceel 7 % del vino del mundo.

Producir tanto a veces está reñidocon producir con calidad.

-Él fue uno de los pioneros,en este sentido, en buscar

esa mirada contemplativade acercarse

a la distinción de los vinosde la máxima excelencia.

-"Me he dedicado a asuntosrelacionados con la agricultura,

de forma directa o indirecta.La viticultura quizá sea la forma

más elevada,por así decirlo, de agricultura,

puesto que se produceun producto como el vino que es,

en muchos aspectos,una obra de arte".

-Entonces mi padre fue a Israely vio

cómo regaban las viñas.Era el riego por goteo.

Fue el primeroen traerse ese método a España.

(Music)

"Siempre había tenido la ilusiónde producir un vino propio.

No solamente producir uvapara venderla a una cooperativa

sino tener un vino estilo chateau".

La herencia de Carlos Falcóqueda presente en sus vinos,

un patrimonio que permanecetan vivo como el título nobiliario

por el que le conoció el país.

Su hija Tamara esahora la marquesa de Griñón.

Un regalazo. Él sabíaque me hacía mucha ilusión.

El otro día estaba andandopor El Retiro y decía:

"Soy la marquesa de Griñón.Soy la marquesa de Griñón".

Para mí, Griñónsiempre es mi padre.

A mi padre le empezarona llamar Griñón con 16 años.

Siempre era élel marqués de Griñón.

-"Las portadasde las mejores revistas del corazón

durante toda su vida.Aquí le vemos con dos de sus hijas.

¿Quién ha heredadotítulo nobiliario, de sus hijos?

-Xandra. Y luego mi hijo mayortambién heredará.

-Tamara no, ¿no?

(RÍE) -A lo mejor hay algopara ella en el futuro".

-A mí me hace feliz verlaque a ella le hace tanta ilusión.

Además, llevar el títulode su padre es muy bonito.

-Cuando lo leyó el albacea,no me lo podía creer.

No he escuchado bien.

-Ella está muy ilusionaday encantada de llevarlo.

Yo estoy encantadade verla muy feliz.

-"¿Da más categoría al productover el escudo de la familia?

-Si se hace bien y si lo que haydentro responde a esa imagen, sí".

-Le dejó el títulode Marqués de Castel-Moncayo

a Manolo, su hijo mayor,como una deferencia.

Es un título que lleva consigola grandeza de España.

-Su segunda hija, Xandra,había heredado un título

por parte de su abuela Hilda.También tenía ya un título.

-"Por ser noble, ¿unova una vez al año al Palacio Real

o tiene algún acto?-No. Any.

-O sea que derogadostodos los privilegios.

-La última vez que usé el títuloes para reservar

en un restaurante elegantísimoen París. No me daban la reserva.

Lo conseguí diciendo que eramarquesa de Mirabel".

-Tiene dos hijos más,pero no quedaban títulos.

Sus otros hijos puede que recibanalgún título por parte materna.

-"Tengo la seguridadde que el día que yo falte

van a seguir con este esfuerzoque está hecho aquí".

-Es bonitotener algo de tu familia, algo...

Mi padre lo describía así:

que el títuloera como una encina milenaria

que no te pertenecía,pero tenías que cuidar de ello".

No es mío como tal. Title

es del rey y lo concede.Entonces no es mío.

Pero sí que ahora tengo que cuidaryo de él.

-Tamara lo llevacon enorme naturalidad,

con mucha naturalidad.Sin impostura.

-Seguro que Tamara sabrá ostentarlo

con la misma eleganciaque lo ostentó su padre.

-Tamara está pasandouna época muy buena ahora.

Está muy ilusionadacon lo que está haciendo.

Está trabajando mucho.Eso le viene también muy bien.

Está muy feliz.Yo la veo muy feliz ahora.

(Music)

Tamara es la heredera de la laborde su padre en el marquesado.

Seguirá la estela de un hombreque dejó una profunda huella.

Una impronta que sigue viva

en cada latidode aquellos que le conocieron.

Sí recuerdo que la primera vezme impresionó.

A pesar de ser muy conocido.

A pesar de estaren los medios de comunicación.

Sin embargo, tratabaa todo el mundo con una normalidad

y con una sencillez extraordinaria.

-"Esa nobleza antiguamuchas veces tenía...

Los ingresos fundamentalesera la tierra, la agricultura.

Hoy en día, la agriculturaes un negocio difícil

ya veces de perder dinero".

-El vino tiene algo bonito.Se parece a quien lo ha hecho.

Algo del alma de Don Carlos Falcóestá en esas botellas de vino

y también en esa tierraen la que ha puesto su energía.

-"Ahí empecé, en el año 74,plantando un viñedo.

Cuando el viñedo empezó a entraren producción,

los metía a hacer vino".

-Era un marqués luchadory trabajador.

Y enamorado de su familia.

Era todo corazónpara los demás y hacia los demás.

-Posiblemente haya sido unade las muertes que más he sentido.

-"Soy una persona como aparezcoahora, es decir

que me gusta lo que hago,me gusta vivir en el campo".

-La pérdida de un caballero.

Era muy simpático. It was...

muy buena persona, muy divertido

y todo el mundo le quería.

-"¿Es difícil y complicadala vida diaria de la pareja?

-Yes. Yo creo que, en general,es difícil y complicada.

No solamente por la parejasino por lo que rodea a la pareja".

-Gracias a vosotros por darleeste homenaje, que se lo merece.

-"Siempre hay cierta complicidadde las hijas con sus padres.

Yo también la he disfrutado.Es algo que se disfruta".

-Ha sido maravillosotenerlo como padre.

Le doy gracias a Dios sin parar.

Y sí, sí, sí. Es que esalguien irremplazable totalmente.

A mi padre le echo de menostodos los días.

Sobre todo, yo tengo la suertede tener fe

y sé que esperando un pocome lo voy a volver a encontrar.

(Music)
