Los Falcó

The lives of Carlos and Fernando Falcó, the Marquis of Griñón and the Marquis of Cubas, ran parallel to that of a country that is already history. Sons of grandees of Spain, the highest distinction among the nobility, their biographies allow us to make a clear x-ray of what the aristocracy has been and has meant in the last century. Until they were forty years old, in the middle of the Transition, they did not stop being Carlos and Fernando Montellano -the family title of nobility as a substitute for the paternal surname was one of the greatest signs of distinction-. Their lineage, their exquisite education and their busy relationships made them unique characters in the social chronicle until his death in 2020, just seven months apart. Don Juanito was his childhood friend and Juan Carlos I his king. They, the last knights of him. In the sixties, Princess Soraya, former Empress of Iran, did not hide her interest in the Marquis of Cubas and visited Madrid frequently. She also did it a decade later Cristina Onassis, the richest heiress of the moment, although her attraction was focused exclusively on the Marquis of Griñón. They were not the only great women who fell in love. Fernando Falcó married Marta Chávarri and Esther Koplowitz. And Carlos Falcó with Jeannine Girod, Isabel Preysler, Fátima de la Cierva and Esther Doña. This is the novel life of him.
