«To find Ricardo Leal in his hometown in Extremadura, the people of Jerez de los Caballeros (Badajoz, population 9,167) recommend going any morning to Eritas, a traditional local bar, with two fruit machines in one corner and the newspaper As on the counter. And that is exactly the case. When you open the door, there he is, dressed in a shirt and waistcoat, having coffee and toast with olive oil for breakfast alongside a friend and employee, the lawyer Rafael Pérez».
This is how the interview conducted by El País with Ricardo Leal, Chairman of our Group, begins, in an article that shows his more personal side. Warm and down-to-earth by nature, he is deeply fond of his hometown, Jerez de los Caballeros, and is convinced that it is the best place to live and work.
