Spanish singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz celebrated his 56th birthday with unforgettable surprises, thanks to his partner, actress Candela Márquez. The intimate surprise started with a mariachi serenade at the break of dawn—a custom often celebrated among Latin culture, which includes singing traditional songs like 'Las Mañanitas' for birthdays.
Márquez, who has been candid about her love for Sanz since they announced their relationship, pulled out all the stops for this special occasion. She decorated Sanz's garden with rose petals and heartfelt messages, including massive letters proclaiming "I love you" and "Congratulations, Ale," creating a romantic atmosphere early on the 18th of December, the day of his birthday.
Alejandro Sanz later took to social media to share the details of his delightful day. He posted photos and videos capturing the essence of the surprise, showing how each moment filled him with joy and gratitude. “This started and ended my birthday. From the first blink of the day until the last, emotions and surprises took hold of me. Thanks to everyone who invented days like this—my children, my love, my people, and everyone who took the time to congratulate me. I feel happy, fortunate, and grateful,” Sanz wrote on his Instagram.
Not only did the celebration start with the serenade, but it also transitioned to a themed party where both Sanz and Márquez donned casual clothing adorned with temporary tattoos, embracing the vibrant and urban ambiance of the evening. Family and friends, including notable names from the entertainment industry, joined the festivities, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.

The festive theme extended beyond just decorations. The entire event carried an urban vibe, as evidenced by the music, dance, and playful interactions among guests. This made for not only a personal milestone for Sanz but also for guests who had the chance to witness the love between the pair.
Reflectively, Candela's gestures clearly illustrated the depth of their relationship—an account confirmed by various media outlets reporting on the couple's love story. After meeting through social media, the couple connected immediately, culminating in Márquez moving from Spain to live with Sanz in Miami.
