Sonia Altimiras Alcaide

Why did you decide to start this expat adventure? What inspired you?

Coming from Barcelona, you could think it was Milan's pleasant climate, or beer prices, or perhaps prosciutto… But the truth is, above all, a sense of adventure

If your career were a movie, what would the title be?

The Intern

Describe your new city in just three words

Walkable, fashionable, costly... and even if this will make four, Aperitivo

What do you do to make this place feel like home? Share your local secrets:

  • Your ultimate comfort food around here? Tiramisu (not unexpected, as “tirami sù” means “cheer me up”)
  • The hangout spot you keep coming back to? Parco Sempione
  • Your go-to social scene for meeting new people? The playground (my kids are much better than me)
  • Your new (or newly inspired) favorite hobby? I haven’t had time for hobbies yet. I barely survived!

What’s the unique “secret ingredient” you’re bringing to this new role?

The knowledge and experience of someone who has been executing international growth below the umbrella at one of the most relevant subsidiaries of Mundys: Abertis.

What are you hoping to discover on this adventure

That is never too late to learn Italian
