It is not a sector that has a generalized social prestige. But it is the same, you dedicate yourself to what you dedicate. Within the activity you will never have the whole predicament. Q. Do you like what it does? A. I like what I do because I keep in mind that this sector is very transversal. Because if you dedicate yourself to making homes, you have previously to dedicate yourself to soil. And if you dedicate yourself to land, you participate in the planning of the city and that is complicated and exciting at the same time. Q. Do you take away your dream? R. No. It doesn't take my sleep away, but it worries me a lot. I usually sleep quite well. Q. Is there anything that takes away your dream? A. Always the most personal topics. They always end up worrying the topics of your environment, your family, your friends … Q. How many hours sleep? A. I am to sleep little. I have always slept between five and six hours. As you get older you have to sleep a little more and try to sleep six. Q. How does the problems face? A. You have to face them, but always with serene vision, if you can. But you have to face them now. When you have a problem, you better get, although sometimes the resolution is not immediate. Q. Is it a serene person? A. Yes, I'm quite quiet. You have to ask my surroundings. Q. Is there anything to take you out of what? A. Not much. It is also a matter of age, you look at everything with more distance. And you see that there are things that have a solution and others that do not have them and others that will have it in the long term. Q. What did he want to be as a child? R. I had no idea, but there was a moment when I was doing baccalaureate that the whole environment of friends wanted to be doctors. I was even pre -registered in medicine, but in the end I enrolled in economics. I have enough medical friends from my time. Q. Does it retain old friends? R. I keep friends of childhood and university. And then the ones you are doing in life, you know, this is a selection. And some join later, but stay forever. I have some very good friends from the university or to have found us working there. They are those friends that when you are as if time had not passed. Q. Any remarkable hobby? A. I really like the sea, swim and for a long time I have had hobbies linked to the sea. Now I still like it and my vacations revolve around the sea, but for many years I have been practicing two sports basically. One is football 11, which I keep doing. And I had to have left it many years ago, because at my age I had already left it for a long time. But there is a university veteran league in which there are quite a few referents who have retired at age 70 and that I aspire. And then I really like the mountain. Now I continue in the University League, but in reality the sport I do is hiking most. I like to leave the weekend and do at least 10 kilometers every day. Everything that time gives me. Q. Where do you practice it? P. I live in Madrid during the week and on weekends I go to Barcelona. I do it for the Sierra de Collserla because I live near Tibidabo and the truth is that it has some roads that seem to be on high mountain. And then I have an apartment in Sitges with all the roads that border the sea. What I like is not having to take the car. Go out to walk and do the kilometers you can. Q. Faced with your professional retirement, will you return to Barcelona? R. We don't know what we will do, but very possibly yes. I have a grandson in Barcelona and this throws a lot. I try to see him every week because he is not even three years old and then he will get activities and I will not be able to see him anymore. Then he will forget me. Now I see him grow every week. Q. Where are you going on vacation? R. Holiday between Sitges and the Port of the Jungle, a small town that is above the Costa Brava. But I spent many years starting my summers in Soria. With pandemic it has been cut and now for family issues it is complicated. But I want to spend a few days of my vacation in Soria because I have a link for two friends. I really like the combination of a small city, very beautiful and with all the nature around. I will make it sure again, spending a few days in Soria is an objective that I have insurance. Q. Will it sail this summer? R. I am lucky to navigate with the friends of the friends, which is the best you can do. There at the Port of the jungle is the Cap de Creus Natural Park, which is an impressive place. And there I go with my friends's ship, it's the best. That the ship have it. Keep in mind that there the ships are not the superyates, there are many friends with Menorcinas and then I have a friend who has already bought somewhat faster. Do you take care of your diet? R. Yes, but for a natural issue, it is not that I have imposed me and rules, but I am allergic to a few things that I have been detecting throughout my life and they condition me a lot. I have very complicated allergies because they are garlic, pepper, raw egg … that are in almost all ingredients. And apart, I realized that if you play football your knees immediately complain if you get weight. The first thing they complain are your knees. So I have a more or less stable weight. It does not obsess me. Kitchen? A. I like it, what happens is that I dedicate the time I dedicate. I have a few dishes that come out very well and ask me: a rice of artichokes and fish in the oven. I really like the rodaballo. To the kitchen above all you have to spend time and that you have to like. If you don't like it, don't get into. Q. Do you have a hard time disconnecting? This is already a style that you transmit to the entire organization. I am not giving people the weekend, at all. I would tell you that lately we arrive at the summers a little tightening of work and it is true that the first week it costs me more. But I am to disconnect. Even so, I try that the bull does not catch me on Monday and for that many Sundays in the afternoon, if I can, I work a little in my house. But this for me is not an obligation. It is to order everything I have for the week and face it with order and concert. I prefer this. Q. Are you seeing any series? R. Lately we have been seeing some series. We were seeing legacy, by José Coronado. It represents that it is the country. The truth is that I liked it and it is also that Coronado is a successful success. I like these short series, which are six or eight chapters. Any book that is pending for this summer or did you like? R. I read a lot and I am combining. I like the black novel and combine literature and rehearsal. I usually read in the morning and at night and then on weekends. And now the one I am reading now is ask me to return, by Andrés Trapiello.p. Are you considered a happy person? A. Yes. I have always seen the medium full things. Another thing you see with age is that there is a strong genetic load. And then the social environment, the family, the friends … my mother was a very positive person.
