From her ‘eco’ life as a ‘farmer’ to her passion for diving: this is Laura Madrueño

For the second consecutive year, and loaded with more security and less winter clothes in the suitcase – because in the previous edition you already saw that you had too many clothes left over -, Laura Madrueño At 37 years old, she is about to start another new challenge in her life, her second edition as presenter of Survivors from Honduras. A challenge that she already overcame with flying colors last year, and that she had the pressure to live up to the mark she had left. Lara Álvarez in the format.

However, the audience fell in love with her smile and her naturalness, and was pleased to learn more professional facets of ‘the weather girl’ from Mediaset, who has also been very loved in her collaborations in TardeAR. In fact, she felt so comfortable in the program that she left in tears on February 9 after her colleagues surprised her with an emotional video and a gift that she received with great affection: a survival kit to face your next four months in Cayos Cochinos.

However, even if she had to be in a situation as adverse as the contestants, Laura would surely not be bad at surviving in the middle of nature and surrounded by animals, since that is her visa in her house in Madrid, a home rustic located in the mountains that she shares with her husband, Álvaro Puerto. It is a sustainable home with large windows designed to have low energy consumption, an ecological house that combines country style – the presence of wood dominates a lot – with modernity.

In addition, her garden has a large orchard where both she and her husband grow legumes, vegetables, fruits and aromatic herbs for their own self-sufficiency. In fact, in her own Instagram profile we have been able to see this graduate in Audiovisual Communication collect her own romanescos, her Brussels sprouts, her quinces, apples, pears, peaches, cherries or tomatoes from her. Her harvest is so great that she admits that she often ‘barters’ with her neighbors. “Since I was a child I have had a relationship with nature. My grandparents had a house in the mountains and they were hunters and fishermen, they had their garden, their chickens, their pigs…”, she commented in an interview with The world. From them it seems that he has also inherited the passion for animals, which has gradually increased until he has built a small ‘farm’ on his land: and in addition to two dogs and a cat, he recognized us a few days ago: “I also have six chickens and a pheasant. The animals accompany me a lot and I am going to miss them,” he told us before his departure to Honduras.

But Laura Madrueño’s passion for nature goes further. Her parents were pioneer divers in Spain and since she was a baby they took her to the sea with them. “When I was three or four years old, my father took me to what I called the black. I owe my love for nature to them, who have taught me how important it is,” acknowledged the gorgeous Madrid native, who is now very passionate about diving. In fact, she has been diving into the deep sea for more than twenty years and eight years ago she created her own production company with some colleagues from Mediaset – it is called ‘We Are Water Films’ – with which they make marine documentaries. Of course, the first thing this sports enthusiast has packed – something she shares with her husband, since she loves to train and compete – in her suitcase are her goggles and fins for diving. We’ll see if between so much adversity, competition and direct contact she has time to relax and dedicate a little time to her passion.
