On April 17, José Luis Martínez-Almeida turned 48 and it is possible that he now has the best horoscope of the month. The recently renewed mayor of Madrid is experiencing a moment of heyday after having achieved an absolute majority in the last elections. To his fortune in the political game is now added that of love. Something that was demonstrated last Sunday, June 4, when he went to the Las Ventas square accompanied by the first known couple of his. Dodging the rumors of the past that related him to his partner from the Basque PP and current deputy, Bea Fanjul.
During the Corrida de la Prensa, a bullfighting ceremony that closes San Isidro, Almeida publicly introduced Teresa Urquijo, a 26-year-old girl with whom he has been dating for some time. This weekend, line 9 of the Las Ventas bullring witnessed the complicity between the mayor of the capital and his new girlfriend, whom he showed in society without any complex. The ABC newspaper then took the opportunity to give the scoop.
“The relationship is at the beginning, but they have never hidden,” sources close to Teresa Urquijo’s environment reveal to LOC. About her, they say that she is “a good girl, smart and fun. With a very focused head despite her age.” They also reveal that she is a discreet, simple person and not very used to fame, for which reason not even her group of friends knew about her that she had this relationship. “Only two very intimate had knowledge.”
To date, Teresa Urquijo has led a practically monastic life. Where the only focus that she monopolized was for her studies. She graduated in Law and Business Administration from ICADE, after taking courses at various foreign universities, she practiced her financial profession in countries such as the Philippines, the United Kingdom or Mexico. Between 2016 and 2017, she had a job as an event organizer at TEDxUComillas in Madrid.

In this company, dedicated to the business of real estate investment trusts, she continues to date.
In his Linkedin account he describes that he is fluent in three languages: Spanish, English and French. In this social network, she also shows the most supportive side of her, since between 2012 and 2016 she collaborated as a volunteer at the Lourdes Hospitality in Madrid, carrying out social services. She has no known accounts on other social networks and prefers to keep a low profile.

At her 86th, she is dedicated to breeding Arabian horses on her 24-hectare farm full of holm oaks from Colmenar Viejo. Her grandfather on her mother’s side, Íñigo Moreno de Arteaga, is the current Marquis of Laserna. PhD in History from the Rey Juan Carlos University and an Academic in this field, he owns one of the most important collections of hunting books in Spain, which has 3,000 copies.
On the paternal side, the young woman’s family tree is also full of titles. Her grandfather on her father’s side is Jaume Urquijo y Chacón, Knight of the Sacred and Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and former president of Energy and Aragonese Industries. Her grandmother, Carmen Fernández de Araoz Marañón, granddaughter of the doctor and scientist Gregorio Marañón, is the granddaughter of the prestigious doctor Gregorio Marañón, after whom the best-known hospital in Madrid is named.
Almeida’s new partner has a little brother named Juan Urquijo, 25, who was also in the news in his day. During the summer of 2017, he was romantically linked to Victoria Federica when they were both seen on Madrid’s Gran Vía. At that time, there was talk that the daughter of the Infanta Elena and Jaime de Marichalar had a new illusion. But the only thing they shared was a good friendship, dating from their years as classmates at the St. George de la Moraleja school, as well as family roots… Of course, not very close or worrying.
