This Sunday has been a very special day for Manuel Díaz ‘El Cordobés’, who 30 years after his alternative said goodbye to the arenas in Jaén. An unforgettable day in which he had the support of his father in the plaza, Manuel Benítez ‘El Cordobés’from his wife Virginia Troconisand his three children, Alba, Manuel y Triana.
Hours before the race, Vicky Martin Berrocalhis ex-wife, also left him a few words on her social networks: “Today is not another day in your life and that is why it is not in mine. 30 years have passed since you took the alternative but half a life living for and for your profession,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Today you say goodbye to a stage that gave you everything you are and knowing you, I know it won’t be easy for you, but it fills me with emotion to know that you are surrounded by those you love most and you have your father with you. To be honest, I’m happy for your mother, for your wife and for your children… And also for all of us who love you,” added the designer, very excited.
Alba Díaz’s mother recognized her ex-husband’s career and wished him all the best for his new stage: “Go easy Manuel, you have given everything and more, and when that is the case, all that remains is to be grateful. Congratulations for all your achievements but above all for your tenacity, your honor and your truth. May God bless you always,” he said.
After their separation in 2001, the two have always maintained a cordial relationship for the love they had for each other and for the good of Alba, the apple of their eye who is now 23 years old. Now, they also share a workplace, since this season they have debuted as collaborators of TardeAR. However, Manuel asked not to meet her on set out of respect for her wife, as he announced.

On the other hand, it is not the only message that Vicky has sent to his followers in an unforgettable moment both for ‘El Cordobés’ and for all those who love him. And the designer has not missed the opportunity to share an image of Alba with her grandfather during her father’s last bullfight. “I look at this image and cry with happiness. I can only remember my father,” she wrote.
On days as special as these, he misses his father infinitely, José Luis Martín Berrocalwho died in 2008: “How happy you would have been there, living that moment on the other side of your granddaughter Alba and your great friend. And how happy I would be to see her with her two grandparents,” he added.
It must be remembered that José Luis was a close friend of Manuel Benítez and one of the people who tried to get him to leave his pride aside to meet his son Manuel. Finally, after a lifetime of estrangement, father and son reconciled at the beginning of this year, when they made it public through social networks. During these months, they have been very united, to the point that Manuel Sr. was in charge of cutting his ponytail this Sunday in Jaén.
