El sabor del último beso

The incredible life of Alfonso Cabeza de Vaca, the legendary Marquis of Portago, deserved a novel that recounted his exploits, his loves, his weaknesses and his infinite value. Godson of Alfonso XIII, by paternal line he descended from the conquistador Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. His mother, an American, was one of the richest women in the world. He was the lover of the first supermodel in history -Dorian Leigh, who inspired Truman Capote's unforgettable character of Holly Gollightly- and of the beautiful actress Linda Christian. He was capable of risking his life to win a bet by going under a bridge with a small plane. He had houses in Biarritz, Paris, Saint Moritz, Fifth Avenue in New York, and a palace on Calle Serrano in Madrid. And he was the first Spanish driver to drive a Ferrari and get on the podium in a Formula 1 race. This is the story of a man who pushed to the limit a life full of glamour, unrepeatable and wild, in which the closeness of death made life even greater.
