Youth, divine treasure. Surely most of them keep the photos of young people like gold in the fabric, to take them out from time to time and remember those times when not only everything was simpler, but the adventurous spirit and the desire to try new things were the most that reigned their lives.
Some, in fact, are completely unrecognizable. This is the case of Pedro Piqueras, who last weekend managed to revolutionize Instagram by sharing one of those images. An image that is half a century old and in which the news anchor is just a teenager, with long hair and a guitar in his hand, which reveals some personal details of his past.
An image that the communicator wanted to comment with a lot of humor, explaining that it was taken “50 years ago” during a charity dinner for Cadena Ser in his native Albacete, where he dared to pick up the guitar and delight those present with the his musical talents: “What cheek! And no one booed,” adds the presenter, amused.

Something that his thousands of followers have not hesitated to applaud, including colleagues such as David Cantero and Arancha Morales, also presenters of Informativos Telecinco, or the journalist Sira Fernández.
Music lover
A facet that has surprised several of his thousands of Instagram followers, but which Piqueras has never hidden. The journalist has an innate talent with musical instruments and, in addition to playing the guitar, he has shown that he can also get by on the piano. Just remember a video shared by the communicator, in which he is seen interpreting Autumn leaveswritten by Johnny Mercer in 1949 and performed by great singers like Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole.
A facet almost unknown to the general public, namely that the presenter is not allowed to comment on too many details of her private life. You have been in a relationship for years with Esther Barriga, with whom you live in a beautiful house in the mountains of Madrid. In addition, she has a son, Curro Piqueras, who is 35 and works as a publicist in London. A son who has chosen to live anonymously, and prefers to maintain a more discreet life, away from the cameras.

A prestigious career rewarded in June with the award Journalist of the year 2022and that he arrived after years of pursuing his passion for communication: “I started out as a manufacturer of espadrilles”, he later confessed, “My father had a small espadrille shop and I worked there. When summers came, holidays of all kinds From the age of 13 This is what happens when you have your own business.
Pedro Piqueras receives his award at the International Journalism Awards in Madrid on 22 September.
One fine day, he follows a journalism course that will change his life forever, making him the protagonist of the lives of millions of people, being the medium of intense information moments. Something I wouldn’t change for the world: “I don’t know if journalism has fallen in love with me; I have with journalism.”
