Spanish TV personalities find rural retreats in small villages

Spanish television personalities Carlos Sobera and Pilar Rubio maintain personal connections to small, quiet rural villages in Spain as retreats from their public lives.

Carlos Sobera frequents Cubillos de Losa, a village of approximately 22 inhabitants located in the Las Merindades region of northern Burgos. The area is characterized by traditional stone architecture, a 17th-century church, and mountainous landscapes. For Sobera, the location is tied to family memories and childhood summers.

Pilar Rubio maintains emotional roots in Fuentelespino de Haro, a municipality in Cuenca with roughly 245 residents. The village, known for its whitewashed houses and historical significance including the Giliberte archaeological site, is where her parents are from and where she spent much of her childhood.
