Paula Echevarría birthday amid mourning

The Starlite Festival in Marbella was set to host several high‑profile birthday celebrations, including Argentine supermodel Valeria Mazza’s husband’s 64th birthday and Spanish actress Paula Echevarría’s 49th. On 6 August, the festival’s program noted that Paula’s birthday plans were cancelled after the death of her father, Luis Ángel Echevarría.

The following day, Paula marked her birthday privately in Candás, spending time with her mother, siblings, children and partner Miguel Torres. She attended her father’s funeral at the church of San Félix, where Torres helped carry the coffin. Paula shared a reflective letter and an Instagram message expressing gratitude and seeking strength, underscoring the somber tone of her birthday celebrations.

Thus, the initial expectation of a public celebration at the festival shifted to a subdued, family‑focused observance marked by mourning and personal tributes.
