WRITING A BIOGRAPHY. Valeria O. (1BTX A)


Otilia García

Otilia García was born in León, Spain on 15 May 1932. She grew up in a really big family with five siblings and her parents. No sooner she had left school than she started working on the field with her family.

When she was 27, she got married to Abel Blas. Right after getting married they moved to Venezuela, because they were looking for better job opportunities. Spain was still economically recovering from the civil-war at the time, and other countries, such as Venezuela, provided more offerings than Spain did back then.

After many years of living in Caracas, which is the capital of Venezuela, they started their own business. They were the owners of two perfumeries. These two businesses were really important in Otilia’s life, because she always loved the sales-world and working there made her extremely happy.

Years after, Otilia and her husband Abel sold one of the perfumeries because it was becoming overwhelming to run both places at the same time. Later on, the perfumery left caught fire, so they had to stop working there. They had other projects going on after the perfumeries. Otilia and Abel had two children Pedro and Jannette.


She had a wonderful life in Venezuela, she lived there for 40 years until she came back to Spain in 2001. Since then, her and her husband have been living in Granollers near to their children and grandchildren.
