While living in Le贸n, she was a member of the city's prestigious university choir and used to be a music teacher for seven to nine pupils at one of Le贸n's and Spain's most prestigious schools, Colegio Leon茅s.

In 2003, she gave an interview to the magazine La Raz贸n, where some of her opinions about abortion generated controversy, mainly from right-wing think tank groups.
She said abortion should be legal in all countries and that "those who don't understand this are people from the 18th century."
