Tamara Isabel Falcó Preysler, 6th Marchioness of Griñón, is a Spanish aristocrat and a co-host on the TV show El Hormiguero. She is the only child of aristocrat Carlos Falcó, 12th Marquess of Castel-Moncayo, GE with Spanish-Filipino socialite Isabel Preysler.
From her parents’ other marriages, she has eight half-siblings, including Manolo, 13th Marquess of Castel-Moncayo, Alejandra, 13th Marchioness of Mirabel, and singer Enrique Iglesias.
Now that we are familiar with her family history, coming back to the show, after reaching a midway milestone in life she has taken up one of the most important challenges of her life – the opening of her own restaurant. But the plan is not without its troubles.
Along the way, she has to encounter two main obstacles, first is to create a menu in record time with a perfect location, ambience and everything that give five senses of experience. And, as if that were not enough, she also has to convince and show her mother, Isabel Preysler, that she can do it all.
We get to know that there’s another side to the Marchioness than being a social influencer. You would expect her days to end up in some nightclubs, drinking and having fun with her friends. But instead, she says that she is a devoted roman catholic and even thought of giving her whole life to religion. She also stresses the part that she prefers to pray with rosary beads instead of going to a party.
But god had other plans for her and she met her boyfriend Íñigo and now she wants to turn her inherited palace called El Rincon into a pop-up restaurant, which could become a permanent one if things go well. While balancing her life from flying from Spain to New York to Paris for work, to trying to get things moving for the restaurant, she lives a pretty hectic life.
She also talks briefly about being brought up in front of the eagle eyes of the media, and it does take a toll on her life when they speculate various things about her relationship, asking very personal questions, that nobody would want to discuss publicly. Although, she says she still has a good relationship with the reporters and paparazzi, as they even brought presents on her birthday, as a kid.
Summing Up: Lady Tamara
The reality show is another conquest of the OTT platform to showcase rich, influential people and their exorbitant lifestyles. The whole series is just about Tamara worrying about getting everything right for the restaurant and encountering ‘hurdles’ that are just exaggerated. The show tried to give her a sophisticated yet ambitious woman kind-of image, which just looks superficial.
It is just running on a single track where there isn’t much happening. After watching the first episode you could skip to the last one and no detail would be left. She keeps on repeating the same things and trying to portray how hard she is working, but let’s just be honest, she is just ordering around and fussing over things when they aren’t exactly like she asked.
If you enjoy watching over-the-top, rich people going around portraying their best life and image, then you might like it. Otherwise, the show is a definite skip if phoney and pretentious people get on your nerves. Also, thank god her boyfriend finally gave her the bike blanket, she has been talking about the whole series.
And a single search on the internet would have told her what ‘Fraise Melba’ is instead of going around everywhere pretending to be some elite who knows a dish from the 1800s, that nobody knows about. Like please grow up it doesn’t make you special and just ask your boyfriend to marry you, instead of being passively frustrated.

I completely agree with the above review. Halfway into the first episode My friends and I thought the same thing. Another “wealthy influencer” trying to turn her “ancestral title and families” name – (which drew us in when she introduced to her mother’s former husband Julio Iglesia and her half siblings) but not enough to keep us to want to come. She tries to convince herself and her audience that she has a life of “substance and something interesting to share that we may be able to learn from. Unfortunately, it wasn’t even aesthetically pleasing. From her wardrobe, to her castle and even the film shots of the city and its streets and stores were a dull and a bit gloomy. Another annoying characteristic of her personality was that she sounded spoiled and at forty years of age her ideas still needed to be validated and approved by her mother. She is a bit of a whiner, who loved talking about herself and introducing her famous friends. She also lacked vulnerability, passion, relatability and she simply was not convincing enough that she had something new and interesting to offer the reality show “genre”. Was she passionate enough about food to open up a “pop-up” restaurant? It seemed that she was having a difficult time even convincing her mother that a restaurant was a good idea because the location of the Castle, El Rincon, that Tamara inherited, was too far for people to want to go out of their way for a meal. The shows” reality actor” that we were introduced to lacked charisma, and personality to give it a second look. I give her credit for taking a risk and doing it though.
I am in complete agreement with the review and comments. She talked a lot but didn’t really say much. For being a 40 year old woman, she’s very childlike specially the way she pronounces her words and her mannerism. Basically it was a show about a socialite who wanted to be relatable, but instead, only succeeded in making herself look out of touch with the real world. It must be hard to have every door open for you without any merit. From the paparazzi, to the airline’s crew, to the upper management at Porcelanosa, to Carolina Herrera. They all laid the red carpet for her. There’s no way she can truly believe that she was being relatable. I loved seeing Peruvian author and PPW Mario Vargas-Llosa. I wish they would’ve mentioned he was Peruvian. I have to say though, she was less irritating and more likable than Georgina.
