Seen in the Luxe lobby

Heir of a long family tradition of circus performance, which stretches back to the nineteenth century, Emilio Aragón, was our recent hotel guest. From El Gran Circo de TVE, which was a great success, the family remained on air until 1981, and became an enormous cultural phenomenon in Spain in the 1970s. The group was awarded a TP de Oro, a prestigious Spanish television award, for "most popular personality" in 1974.
