Extremadura Hosts an Adored Wedding of Nadia Calviño's Daughter

Extremadura Welcomes High-Profile Wedding

A former wool wash in Mérida has been transformed into a stunning estate for exquisite weddings, accommodating up to 225 guests. Located less than five kilometers from the Monumental City of Mérida, this venue boasts a privileged setting alongside the reservoir and the Roman dam of Proserpina. The most recent ceremony hosted here was that of Nadia Calviño's daughter, Alina Manrique de Lara, who exchanged vows with María, a young woman from Extremadura whom she met in Brussels at the European Parliament.

Political Presence at the Wedding

The estate was heavily secured and featured a significant police presence due to the attendance of numerous political guests, as reported by Hoy Extremadura. While part of Sánchez's cabinet was present, neither the president nor his wife, Begoña Gómez, attended. Notable attendees included Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska.

• Alina arrived in a simple dress with a round neckline and a defined waist, accompanied by a bouquet of white flowers.
• Few photos have surfaced, predominantly sourced from local media in Extremadura.
• The dinner was held outdoors with live music.

Nadia Calviño: A Brief Background

Nadia Calviño was born in La Coruña, moving to Madrid at the age of five. She studied Economics at the Complutense University and later completed a law degree through UNED. Her husband, Ignacio Manrique de Lara, shares roots with Extremadura. Together, they have four children.

In December 2023, Nadia left her role as the third vice president and minister of the Spanish government to lead the European Bank. In her farewell, she expressed gratitude to her cabinet colleagues and her family for their unwavering support.

This marriage serves as a reminder of the vibrant traditions and political intertwining that characterize the region of Extremadura.
