What is the one thing in this world you are most proud of?

I am extraordinarily proud of my sons, which are the best thing I have done in life. They are very good persons, affectionate, enthusiastic, and always caring about the others.

If you were doing something else besides this, what would it be?

I think I would like to have a pro bono experience helping others to develop their capacities, either in Spain or abroad where needs are more urgent and demanding.
