ABBA CASTILLA PLAZA HOTEL

Father of Julio Iglesias died.

Dr Julio Iglesias Puga has died in Madrid following a heart attack. Born in 1916, Dr Puga was one of the youngest gynecologists employed by the Spanish National Health service, and one of the first to study painless childbirth. Founder of Madrid's Maternity Centre, he held in the town of Trasmoz (Zaragoza) for almost a month until he was rescued in a police operation and was kidnapped by ETA in 1981. Just a few days ago, the 90 year old had announced that his wife Ronna Keith, who gave birth to a son barely a year ago, was pregnant with their fourth child.
