In this edition of “A Wine with…”, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Simon Wicks, the Executive Headteacher of King’s College Alicante, for an insightful conversation hosted by Rafael Poveda, one of the world’s leading experts on Fondillón wine.
The conversation unfolded with two distinguished guests from Pellicer & Heredia, international lawyers and CEOs, Ignacio Pellicer and Pedro Heredia. Together, they explored various aspects of life in Spain, from education and technology to climate, culinary traditions, and the preservation of centuries-old customs. They also shared anecdotes about Shakespeare and discussed how to find talent for businesses, all while enjoying the complex flavors of a “Vino de Reyes”—a wine with more than fifty years of history.
The discussion provided a relaxed, honest view of life in Spain, offering insight into the country’s rich traditions, the vibrant international community, and its evolving business landscape. The guests also reflected on the unique Spanish Christmas customs, making it a fascinating and multifaceted conversation.
As the conversation drew to a close, the speakers shared their personal experiences and reflections on life in Spain, offering valuable perspectives on how the country has shaped their lives and careers. Looking ahead to 2025, they shared their wishes for health and prosperity, hoping for a year of personal and professional growth, happiness, and harmony.
Set in a cozy and intimate atmosphere, this edition of “A Wine with…” was truly a blend of culture, tradition, and modernity, enhanced by the exceptional wine and the warmth of its hosts.”
