Tonight María del Monte, the singer of Sevillanas and Spanish songs, will go to have fun at ‘El Hormiguero’. The artist will go to the Pablo Motos program to present her book ‘If the heart is wrong, it is forgiven’, a biography in which she narrates the different episodes that have marked its history. However, she remembers how lucky she has been due to the difficulty of young people when it comes to becoming independent and acquiring their first home.
María del Monte Tejado Algaba, known artistically as María del Monte, has decided to capture all her experiences and learnings in a memoir that was published on October 7, 2026. A 224-page work in which she remembers both her childhood with her family and the hard times she went through at some points in her life. Among them, the robbery he suffered in his family home.
Despite this, the artist claims to feel fortunate for all her achievements and for the support she received from friends, family and her wife, Inmaculada Casal. Above all, because it is aware of the difficulties faced by young people currently due to the high price of housing, as she stated in the program in which she is a collaborator, ‘And now Sonsoles’ on Antena 3.
The singer expressed her concern about the impossibility of buying a home
The singer is a regular collaborator on the television program presented by Sonsoles Ónega, participating in the current affairs and debate panel. Due to this, on several occasions he has been able to express his concern about different current problems, such as the high figures reached by properties in the real estate market. Specifically, in one of the interventions he made in the summer of 2025, he already showed his uneasiness about the difference in opportunities of the young people.
“We are doing something wrong. Because our elders, all of them, have had properties and the children, today, inherit the properties of their parents,” he said, referring to his generation. However, he assured that young people do not have access to buying their own home and asked the expert how this difference between generations is possible. “Now it is impossible to buy a house, how well did they do it?“
The answer offered by Eduardo Bolinches, financial analyst, was summarized in savings opportunities. Those adults who managed to save small percentages of their salary to be able to purchase a home, managed to accumulate wealth to enjoy and give to their descendants when they are no longer there. On the contrary, when young people cannot save due to the price of rent, These are not capable of facing a mortgage.
The artist has a home in the Sevillian municipality of Gines
Another relevant issue is the revaluation of housing. The increase in the price per square meter, especially in some neighborhoods or areas of large cities, has caused homes built more than twenty years ago to appreciate in value. Something that has also happened with the singer’s own home. A single-family house of 560 square meters and two floors located in the Sevillian municipality of Gines.
The house was built in 2003, which has a large garden and private pool, where he resides with his wife Inmaculada Casal. There, both have managed to create a home full of memories and decoration with which to pay tribute to Andalusian art and tradition, which has served the artist so much inspiration. A refuge where the couple can rest and invite their loved ones, as it has seven bedrooms and four full bathrooms.
One of the most bitter episodes was the assault on his home in 2023
Despite this, not all are good memories at home. Well, in the early morning of August 24, 2023, the house was attacked by a group of hooded men while the couple was sleeping. One of the main suspects is Antonio Tejado, nephew of the artist, as well as ten other defendants, who will be tried by the Seventh Section of the Seville hearing next April 2027.
A bitter episode in his life, although not the only one. However, the artist has learned to see these events as an opportunity to learn, as she explains in one of the chapters of her recently published memoirs. “Despite what I’ve been through, I don’t go into details, I still think that Everything has its good part, its bad part and its average part“. Reflections that will be discussed tonight in ‘El Hormiguero’.
