Julio Iglesias (82) could close one of the most sentimental chapters of his legacy without having lived it. The singer, who almost a year ago acquired a spectacular property in Ourense As a tribute to his father, Dr. Iglesias Puga, he would now evaluate … the possibility of selling iteven though I haven’t spent a single night there yet.
According to sources close to the family, the artist would have commented in his most intimate entourage that the Galician house, for which he paid almost five million eurosto which must be added a significant investment in renovations, may not correspond to your lifestyle or your current priorities.
A tribute full of nostalgia
The farm, located in the small village of Villariño, very close to where his father was born, was conceived as a deeply emotional gesture. There they passed the summers of his childhood Julio and his brother Carlos, when they accompanied the “Papuchi” that we remember. Decades later, having become a music legend, Iglesias wanted reconnect with these roots.
The house, known as Santa Lucía, is located on a plot of 1,500 square meters and has a garden, artificial lake, heated swimming poolinterior elevator and garage for several vehicles. A luxury refuge designed for relaxation… which nevertheless remains unique for its owners.
A ready house, but without an owner
The packaging work has already been completed. For months, the one who has overseen every detail has been Toncho Navas, a close friend of Julio Iglesias and his collaborator since his youth, also current in the decoration and management of the artist’s other residences. In town, he was seen making arrangements to have everything prepared for the family’s eventual arrival.
Meanwhile, the farm is permanently inhabited by a couple responsible for its maintenance. Everything remains ready, as if Julio could appear at any moment. But that moment doesn’t come.
The reasons for your doubts
Those who know the singer well assure that the Galician climate This is one of the big obstacles. Julio Iglesias does not tolerate persistent rain or coldand although Ourense records some of the hottest summers in Spain, the artist prefers more predictable and friendly environments.
Currently, he divides his time between the Bahamas – where he spends long periods – and Marbella, where the family has a farm in Ojén equipped with every comfort: swimming pools, horses and a climate much more suited to their daily life. Miranda and her children actually spent a good part of last summer there.
This is why, despite the symbolism surrounding the Galician house, the approach of a possible sale would not respond to emotional detachment, but to a pragmatic decision. The ‘From the Same Stone’ singer is focusing on new projects, including the series Netflix is preparing about her life, and doesn’t seem to have any plans to rearrange her routine to include Galicia in the short term.
