10 Miriam Nogueras meets us in Dosrius, the town where she was born. Her father was also raised there; her mother arrived when she was older, from Dos Hermanas, Seville. They maintain a relationship with the maternal family in Andalusia, and when we ask her if her mother receives comments for having an indepe daughter, she puts on an Andalusian accent to say: “Montse, what is the girl doing?” It is the phrase they repeat to her the most. She, Montse, was only 16 years old when she met her father. He, ten years older. She explains this to us while we walk towards the town pools where the Junts leader learned to swim. She also met her husband very early, in fact, at only three years old. They coincided at the same school in Llinars del Vallès, a cooperative located at the Can Bordoi estate. They started dating in their early twenties. “I still keep a poem he wrote for me when he was only ten years old. Back then, I didn't return his feelings much,” she says smiling. Today, he is a SEM helicopter pilot, they live in Cardedeu and have two children.
