The actress Diana Gómez, star of 'Valeria', is said to have been born and raised in Igualada, in the Anoia region. The city is about 60 kilometres from Barcelona.
According to the publication noticiasdelvino.com, the 'Valeria' actress, who also participated in 'La casa de papel', has her roots in Igualada, a locality in the province of Barcelona. She is said to have been born and raised there, away from the hustle of filming and the red carpets of Madrid.
The city is known for its textile and leather industry, a manufacturing past that still marks much of its urban landscape. From the centre of Barcelona, it takes about 60 kilometres to reach, making it a day trip for those living in the metropolitan area.
Among the buildings highlighted by the publication is the Basilica of Santa Maria. It also mentions the European Hot Air Balloon Festival, which takes place every July and fills the local sky with colourful balloons.
For the local residents, the phenomenon has a practical consequence: the interest of the actress's fans in visiting her childhood places can translate into more weekend visitors. According to the same publication, hotels in Anoia often sell out weeks in advance during weekends with large events, so it is advisable to book in advance if one wishes to visit the city on those dates.
