Journalist Patricia Pardo has faced numerous personal and professional challenges. She will be her mother for the first time together with her husband Cristian Gálvez, whom she secretly married a year ago, but this is not the first child of the Compostela woman. Among the most unknown aspects of her life, Pardo lives faithful to a motto that a nun told her, she has always been linked to fashion and defines herself as a shy person.
Apart from her recently announced pregnancy, the journalist will also face a new professional challenge by presenting a new program starting in September. Although the presenter has been working on television for more than 15 years, there are still traits about her that the audience does not know. Therefore, these are some of the unknown facts about her life and her way of being.
The presenter lives under the motto Pasiño a pasiño faise or camino (step by step the path is made). A motto that has accompanied her since she was a child. As she has explained in the newspaper La Voz de Galicia, a nun from her school, As Orfas, told her those words, which she adopted as her own, which she still has in mind today.
Patricia Pardo has two daughters, Aurora and Sofia, who she had with her first husband, the policeman Francisco Márquez. The name of the minor, Sofía, was chosen after a professional experience that marked the journalist especially. It was as a result of a report that she did on the sale of women in Bulgaria. When she was there, they offered her a baby named Sofía, something that particularly impacted her, so she decided to call her daughter that, as she explained in La Voz de Galicia.
In more than thirteen years of his professional career, he has given news of all kinds, but there have been some that have had a special impact on him. This is the case of the Asunta Basterra case, which took place in 2013. A twelve-year-old girl was murdered by her adoptive parents, Alfonso Basterra and Rosario Porto, who hanged themselves in 2020 in the prison where she was serving a sentence.
The case affected the journalist personally because she knew the victim and her environment. “I lived it to the surface. The girl's grandparents were customers of my mother's store, ”she stated for La Voz de Galicia.
Music has always been present in the journalist's life. Her parents met in a nightclub and therefore decided to link music to all of her businesses. In Santiago de Compostela they had several clothing stores named after dances, such as Charleston, Mambo or Sonata. Although her parents had to close the stores in 2008, both her sister and her have had a childhood closely linked to fashion. A sector to which neither of them has decided to dedicate themselves.
After finishing her studies at the Rosalía Institute, Patricia decided to go to Madrid to study Journalism because “something told me that I had to live there”. Although she, at first she was terrified of putting herself in front of a camera because she defines herself as a shy person, it seems that she has managed to impose herself, since she has ended up dedicating herself to the small screen.
