Mario Vargas Llosa and Isabel Preysler. Spain’s most literary couple separates

Between novels and entertainment. She, the “reina de corazones”, met the writer by giving him an interview. He left his cousin Patricia and mother of her children for her. Now they say they’ve always been “incompatible”

The most media-mediated couple in Spain has broken out, even if in reality neither of them is Spanish by birth. Mario Vargas Llosa87 years old in March, Nobel Prize for Literature 2010, is in fact Peruvian, and in 1990 he was also a candidate for the presidency – however Spain gave him not only citizenship but also the title of marquess, part of a collection of 224 accoladesthe last of which was his appointment to the Académie Française.
