Biography
Biography
Santiago Alba Rico was born in Madrid in 1960, the son of journalist, producer, and screenwriter Lolo Rico, who was also the mother of writer Isabel Alba Rico. He is also the great-grandson of politician Santiago Alba Bonifaz and the uncle of Nagua Alba. Alba earned a licentiate degree in philosophy from the Complutense University of Madrid. He joined the crew of TVE's children show La bola de cristal (created by his mother) as a screenwriter (1984–1988), introducing content under a Marxist point of view. He relocated to Cairo in 1991 and then to Tunisia in 1998. He has worked as a translator to Spanish from Arabic. He was opposed to the rule of Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad in the context of the Libyan and Syrian conflicts. Podemos presented Alba as their candidate for the Senate in the constituency of the province of Ávila (he owns a residence in Piedralaves) vis-à-vis the December 2015 general election, failing to win the seat.
