Pablo Iglesias<\/strong>, the former leader of Podemos, the Spanish left-wing political formation currently called Unidas Podemos, acquired in 2018 a luxurious villa<\/strong> in Galapagar with Irene Montero, his then wife and current Minister of Equality.<\/p>\n

This purchase was controversial since Iglesias had taken a stand against politicians acquiring expensive properties far from the civilization for which they governed<\/strong>. In this article, however, we will not focus on that, but rather analyze what this home<\/strong> looks like and what it has to offer.<\/p>\n

Iglesias and Montero’s villa from the outside<\/h2>\n

The house has almost 270 square meters and is located on a plot of about 2,000.<\/strong> Thus, the political couple could boast a rather extensive private land for a while. In the outdoor area, we find a large swimming pool<\/strong> that is the main protagonist of the garden. Just in front of the access stairs , we can see two very comfortable black sun loungers<\/strong>, where Montero and Iglesias must have sunbathed at some point.<\/p>\n

\n

Something that is also very remarkable about the exterior of the former home of Pablo Iglesias is its porch. It has several sets of tables and chairs ideal for having a quiet drink<\/strong> outside, playing cards, or just chatting. In addition, the exterior wall is made entirely of stone. Iglesias even confessed that he liked this house for precisely that reason: because it had a very rustic style<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The interior of this house<\/h2>\n

The house was built in 2001, but the architects designed it in such a way that it looks older than it is<\/strong>. For this purpose, they used demolition wood and salvaged carpentry. Virtually all materials used were salvaged<\/strong>. In this way, they simultaneously achieved a house with a rustic, colonial, and classic style: a combination to the couple’s liking.<\/p>\n

\n

The house came with two bedrooms, but since Iglesias and Montero had children together, they raised the wall to create a new bedroom for them<\/strong>. The first floor is like a loft: the living room, kitchen, dining room, and living room are connected, without a wall separating them. Upstairs we find the main bedroom, which consists of a bed and a large closet<\/strong>. On each house floor, there is a large window that lets a large amount of natural light into the house’s interior. Finally, the bathroom is very complete and also has a rustic style<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
