Spain Week on this blog is officially over, but that doesn't mean we cannot take a closer look at the family of one of the most fascinating aristocrats in the world, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart y Silva, Duquesa of Alba (Duchess of Alba). The premier grandee in Spain, the Duchess of Alba is known for her colorful life, interesting and heavily-surgerized face, and great wealth. But she, in fact, is the matriarch of one of the most important families in Spain and her children and grandchildren occasionally fall by the way side (at least in the international press) when it comes to media coverage. Let's take a look at them, in particular three of her children and a couple of her grandchildren (as well as her new squeeze Alfonso Diez).
