Enjoy, affable and classic customs, declares itself passionate about horses and their first and unique granddaughter, grace. He receives in his office from the center of Madrid, decorated with busts of horses and numerous photographs, especially his family, although there is also one with Pope Francis. Expolithic – was Mayor of Estepona between 1995 and 1999 – former vice president of Atlético de Madrid and founder of the Gilmar real estate together with his partner and friend Manuel Brown, this year he has celebrated the 40 years of history of the Network of Agencies Specialized in Luxury Housing in the Luxury Housing in the Luzo had a lot to do with his father, Jesús Gil, who was president of the Atlético de Madrid and mayor of Marbella. What is it: football or politics? I believe that the policy of twenty years ago, which is when I was mayor, is very different from now. Now, I think it doesn't quote much. I felt very proud to be able to transfer well -being to people and needed to talk, touch, feel people. Now, I believe that politicians or they cannot or do not want or do not think that this is what to do. I think politics has gone worse in many ways. I could not be in a place where they are insulting me, I think it makes no sense. And football, because what will tell you the same, it is a very beautiful passion that also has its complicated side. I think my brother Miguel Ángel is a genius and does it wonderfully and the test is in the successes that Atlético de Madrid has harvested. Do you live in the city or in the countryside? R. I live in a farm on the outskirts of Madrid with my chickens, with the garden, I am now aware of getting spectacular strawberry seedlings. I have tomatoes, artichokes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce … taking a navajilla, oil and salt and going with a friend to speak taking a tomato I think it is one of the most enriching experiences. Then I have another farm in Galapagar that is a hunting exploitation. I have a kid who is like a brother or a young son, and he is the one who carries everything. And I have ostriches, alpacas, birds, there are about 15 species of phaisanes, swans, real turkeys … we take the eggs and sell them. Do you sell the eggs? R. I will not tell you that it is a business that can be lived, but it makes me recharge the batteries and is another way of getting benefit. I also love to give here in the office. Recently Magdalenas made with ostrich egg.p. Horse riding is one of its great passions. What does it contribute? R. I have mounted on horseback all my life and I have also made a classic dance. I can no longer dedicate the time I dedicated before, now I can only on weekends. On a Saturday I am four or five horses. The horse is a very noble animal. Communication with the horse seems precious to me and absolutely evades my reality. I think I'm in the conquest of America, or with John Wayne. I love and walking with friends is a luxury. Does this release stress? R. Yes of course. Do not talk to humans on a Saturday morning or on a Sunday morning I think it's a privilege that has granted me up there. He has a granddaughter of just over a year. Do you act as grandfather? R. It is a brutal experience. My granddaughter and I have a special relationship. Be whoever is, if he sees me, he throws himself into my arms. He has traveled a good part of the world. Is it still like to travel? R. Less and less, but since my wife is still loved, I have to travel. What is the destiny you liked the most? R. I love Asia. I love the way of thinking and respect for the elderly. In Asia, whatever says a lot of importance. Here little less than we have them lying in the gutter. Who are your friends? R. I have several groups of friends. There are the little ones, that we grew up together, that we made the first trastadas together. We have evolved in a way, but in spite of everything we sit at the same table and continue to laugh. And then I have made Gilmar many hours, so the clients we have sold or bought them or we have done some business, they end up friends. Speaking of Gilmar, how does that jump from Los Angeles de San Rafael make to the luxury segment? R. For my father's generosity. My father, both for my partner Manolo and for me it has been an important figure. And always very generous, because it always helped us. He never put money, but always helped us. My father left us free and even advised us. Participate as a shareholder in Zalacaín. Is it good eating? R. I love to eat and, above all, play mus. So, to all the places I am going, it is not very correct to say it, but they have to leave me smoking and play the mus. To almost all places where you know they will treat you with love and well. I love Pepa's qüenco, obviously Zalacaín, Urrechu, Lucio, those of Félix Colomo, 1911, Filandón and the Fisherman. My partner is the vicious of the theme of the restoration. We had a time that we were going to three marriages during a gastronomic tribute weekend by restaurants with Michelin stars. One weekend we went to Catalonia, another to the Basque Country. But I don't do it anymore. How do you take care of? R. As more vegetables, he was previously a crazy man, now as healthier. And I do a lot of sport every day. I do cardio, pilates and weights. He prefers to see Atlético de Madrid matches in the countryside or at home? R. Since my father died I have not stepped on a football field to watch a game. From a very young age, well for the angels of San Rafael, for Gilmar, for politics or for football, I have worked every weekend of my life. I discovered what they are for on weekends and I dedicate them to me and my family. What memories of his father Jesus Gil? R. My father was a born farmer, every day I was sowing and rare is the week that I do not find someone who says 'Your father helped me in this, he did this other'. He was a person made himself, perhaps primitive and rudimentary in some aspects, but with brutal human values. It is the person I have discussed the most, but the one I have wanted most. I loved my father with blindness. Are Atlético de Madrid to sell? R. It depends on my brother, who is the biggest shareholder. I suppose something I will have, but it is my brother who commands. It has been receiving offers for a long time. I suppose that while maintaining the illusion of continuing, he will continue and when he loses it will devote himself to what he likes most to act as a veterinarian. What is that club for you? R. It is football. It has allowed me to meet a lot of people. The box of a football field is something that is very interesting, it opens doors, although it is very sacrificed. Enrique Cerezo has a leading role, and apart from being a guy and a good friend, it is the best public relations relations that a football team can Xor in our weekly newsletter
