In 2022, he was a finalist of Survivor Spain. For 98 days, he and other contestants had to survive in an Island in Honduras. “It was that hardest experience in my life, but I felt so grateful for being able to live this experience with 21 years old”. That young, Nacho things we tent to forget the value of things, such as having a family near us or food on your plate everyday.
In 10 years, he sees himself being a successful actor. “I know I’m gonna do it”, he affirms. Nacho’s biggest dream is to play in a Hollywood movie.
If Ignacio’s surname sounded familiar, it is because he is related to the current King of Spain, Felipe VI. Their common ancestor is Carlos IV, who was King between 1788 and 1808. He had two sons: Fernando VII, who went on to be crowned, and Francisco de Paula, the youngest. While the King descends from the first one, Nacho has ties to his little brother.
That branch of the family has maintained a discreet profile. Some of them have gotten very famous still, like Nacho’s great-aunt: Elena de Borbón used to do public relations for Gianni Versace.
