The Spanish social chronicle is once again discussing the family of Manuel Díaz ‘El Cordobés’—this time due to an unexpected incident involving his son Manu during a family vacation in the French Alps. After several days of anxiety and silence, it was Alba Díaz, the eldest sister and one of the country’s most prominent influencers, who first openly shared how her brother is feeling now after surgery.
The situation developed rapidly: in early April, it became known that Manu, the eldest son of Manuel Díaz and Virginia Troconis, was injured at a ski resort. The family trip ended for the 21-year-old not only with an emergency hospital visit but also with surgery. As Divinity notes, the parents did not hide that they went through several tense days, and Troconis herself admitted on social media that the operation was unavoidable.
Family anxiety and initial reaction
While the parents shared only basic details, it was Alba Díaz who decided to reveal more. At the presentation of the ‘Les dones’ project in Madrid, which many well-known personalities attended, Alba did not avoid journalists’ questions and, for the first time, described in detail how her brother’s recovery is going. According to her, Manu, together with their father, attended another medical checkup, and the doctors confirmed: everything is going according to plan, and there are no serious complications.
Alba does not hide that there have been truly tense moments in the family. She remarked with irony that her brother got injured on the slope because he is ‘too passionate about extreme sports,’ and admitted that for reasons like this, she gave up skiing long ago. According to her, Manu broke his finger, but he is already feeling well and it is not the first time he has faced such adventures.
Manu’s character and habits
In a conversation with the press, Alba emphasized that her brother has always been inclined toward risk and active recreation. ‘At this age everyone wants to jump, run, conquer mountains,’ she said with a smile, adding that Manu had been in such situations more than once. In Alba’s opinion, young people often do not think about the consequences, and that is precisely why such injuries happen more often than parents would like.
Alba herself, on the contrary, admits that she prefers peace and the comfort of home. She humorously described her lifestyle: ‘I spend time at home with my dog and my boyfriend; I don’t need unnecessary risks.’ This contrast between brother and sister only added interest to their family story in the eyes of the public.
Media interest and support
The story of Manu’s injury once again brought the ‘El Cordobés’ family into the spotlight of the Spanish media. It is no surprise that every new comment from Alba or her parents becomes a topic of discussion. Incidentally, Manu’s father has previously shared details about the reasons for the surgery and how the family went through these challenging days — more about this can be read in the article about Manuel Díaz’s reaction to the incident with his son.
Judging by recent statements, Manu is recovering, and the family is trying not to turn this story into a tragedy. Despite her anxiety, Alba Díaz managed to approach the situation with irony, which only increased the public’s sympathy for this famous dynasty. According to Divinity, all family members are now supporting Manu and hope that such incidents will not happen again in the near future.
