Concha Márquez Piquer, the details of his divorce of Curro Romero

From the day Avita Perón saved the life of a typhus to the premonitory trip in the Nino Bravo car at full speed in Madrid.From how García Márquez was inspired by her for a character of love in the times of anger to that ugly that he fails to forget Concha Velasco.Concha Márquez Piquer, who has died at age 75, wanted to resurrect from her memory the most prominent passages of her random existence in her biography, myself (ed. Clara letter).A life full of great privileges and friendships like Orson Welles or Picasso, in which heartbreak left an indelible imprint.Perhaps for that reason the daughter of Doña Concha Piquer recreated clearly and conciseness at the birth, climax and death of her marriage with Curro Romero, turned into a bullfighting legend during her relationship.

Conchita slides with nostalgia on the first day in which he told his father, also the bullfighter Antonio Márquez, who wanted to go through the altar with which he would later be called El Pharaoh of beds.The "no" of her was so resounding and sound that she planned to escape with work.She was a teenager (her first kiss with him was at age 15), but with mature and ambitious ideas, so much that she sought the blessing of the Church to convince her parent.

Doña Concha and her husband had no choice but to compromise with her daughter's decision, who did not even reach 17 years.In the end, they married in the church of the Jerónimos de Madrid.Concha Márquez was late because she had forgotten the bouquet made of orange blossom at home.We had to call the locksmith and force the door since everyone was in the church, waiting impatiently for the bride."

In the end they took me in volandas with a lipotimia, since I had lowered the tension by having been without eating all day, and we went to the Wellington hotel, where a dinner was given for the more than 1,300 guests, "he says in his memoirs.

Concha Márquez Piquer, los detalles de su divorcio de Curro Romero

By then, Concha's father became the agent of Curro Romero. He gave him a montera with his name and lent him the Fundón with his stares made by Master Luna "Swords (...) that I hope to recover at the time because they belong to me as a legacy of my father." Later, Márquez Piquer speaks in his book of an event that dyed his first days as a married woman: the theft of the safety box of a bright brooch of Cali of the brooch of brilliant that his wedding godfather had given him, "acquired" in Aldao jewelry and from which I only keep his image in a photograph. " His with the bullfighter lasted 17 years, they had two daughters and had to face the death of one of them, coral, to which Márquez was very close and whose baptism came from Audrey Hepburn to Lola Flores or Yul Brynner with her wife. Concha puts words to indescribable feelings. She even talks about the subsequent infidelities of Curro without any modesty. "Put them on, he did put them on, but many years after getting married." On the alleged endless parrandas of him, who precipitated an inevitable breakup, she also did not cut.

"The flamenco spree of Curro lasted two and three days (...) and when not, endless poker games. The poker was, more or less, bearable because after all I had him at home, but and when when did.I had to look for a worried tablao because he had prolonged more than normal? "

The thing gets interesting when Márquez tells how his separation of curro was: "One day, after many unpleasant situations, suspicions of infidelities and others, we talk about it in the dining room of the Castilian (...) despite that,Curro continued to live in another room for more than a year, resisting and refusing to leave (...). Before his attitude I went to see Luis Zarraluqui and started the divorce procedures. "The daughter of which was maximum expression of the popular song in the postwar period is not deprived of giving details."I must add that by Curro there was no magnanimity, since he even reached the price of the jewels he had given me, as well as a drawing that Picasso" had given them both.

Another of the hot points of the book is one in which Concha Márquez Piquer puts the points on the íes on his commented marriage nullity with the father of two of his three daughters."The truth is that I had not denied absolutely anything, because it is clearly clear that I have no power to give or deny nullity to any marriage, not even mine, when it is a court, that of La Rota, who has topronounce a sentence in one sense or another. I had just answered with the truth when I asked me. I already know that if the former spouses agree and tell lies to the monsignors who form that court they can get to obtainA nullity judgment according to your convenience. But at no time was anything told. "

There is also space for her second husband, actor Ramiro Oliveros, father of her third daughter, Iris.They met in 1980 at a party organized by Jean Louis Mathieu in the Santander casino and married two years later

Its history lasts to the present."I really, I don't know if the union of Curro with his current wife is perfect. I don't incumbent. I wish you - I did it publicly on television the same day of your link - that they are happy for many years. What I knowIt is necessary that the union of Ramiro and I do not suffer from anything because of the fact of not having sanctified it by the Church. And we have been of happy marriage for almost 32 years, "he says in the book.
