Spanish pop icon Marta Sánchez, celebrating her 60th birthday this month, appeared on the television program *El Hormiguero* to discuss her upcoming musical projects, her strict wellness regimen, and to definitively address long-standing rumors regarding her personal relationships and professional rivalries.

The month of June marks a significant milestone for Marta Sánchez, who is currently commemorating 40 years of professional activity. During her recent appearance on Antena 3, the singer—famed for hits such as ‘Colgando en tus manos’—revealed that she has been traveling to the Canary Islands to record her latest studio album.
This new era of her career is being shaped by a collaborative energy. She noted that working with Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson has provided a revitalizing boost to her sound.
“He is giving me a musical lifting. I am having a lot of fun with the album, it is very cheerful and I am happy to work with him again.”
Beyond the new production, Sánchez teased a highly anticipated duet that has been years in the making. While she kept the identity of the collaborator under wraps, she provided specific clues to satisfy the curiosity of her fans.
“It’s a woman, she is not Lady Gaga, she is Spanish. It is a duet that I have dreamed of since I first met her. I met her when she was 14 years old.”
According to La Razón, the singer emphasized that the success of such a collaboration depends heavily on the intangible connection between artists.
“There is much mystery, you never know when it will be liked. We both have to be very convinced of the song and if there is chemistry, you die.”
Clarifying Decades of Rumors Involving Two Vickys

Sánchez’s visit to the studio was not merely about music; it served as a platform to settle various media narratives that have followed her for decades. Interestingly, she found herself addressing two separate controversies involving two different women named Vicky.
The first involves her relationship with Vicky Martín Berrocal. Following rumors of a rift in their long-standing friendship, Sánchez used her appearance to defend their bond.
“In 32 years of friendship, who hasn’t had a quarrel at some point? We are two very passionate women, with strong characters… and every now and then we argue, but we love each other very much.”
The second matter concerned Vicky Larraz, the artist who succeeded her in the group Olé Olé. For years, the press suggested a professional rivalry existed between the two, a claim Sánchez flatly denied.
“Nothing. Zero. In fact, I didn’t even know her.”
As reported by HOLA, the singer explained that their paths had actually crossed in a supportive capacity early in her career. She recalled helping Larraz with a duet titled ‘Búscala’ after Larraz had insisted on the collaboration while Sánchez was in Miami.
The Discipline Behind a ‘No-Lifting’ Approach to Aging
Marta Sánchez – Such A Mistery
At 60, Sánchez maintains a level of vitality that has led to frequent questioning regarding cosmetic interventions. She was emphatic in her response to host Pablo Motos, stating clearly that she has not undergone any facial lifting procedures.
Instead, she attributes her appearance to a rigorous and disciplined lifestyle. Her daily routine is a combination of strict nutrition, consistent skincare, and varied physical training.
Nutritional Foundation: A morning ritual consisting of two coffees with milk, a juice, one rye toast with turkey, and a second rye toast with butter and jam.
Skincare Discipline: A non-negotiable routine centered on hydration, cleansing, and the constant use of sunscreen to prevent aging marks.
Physical Training: A weekly regimen that includes cardio, weight training, and ballet fit, supplemented by body remodeling treatments such as maderoterapia.
Rest Requirements: A minimum of eight hours of sleep, though she occasionally aims for ten to twelve hours to recover her energy.
Sánchez described herself as a hyperactive person who finds it difficult to rest, often feeling a need to ensure every day is productive. According to ABC, this drive is a central part of her personality, even if it occasionally makes relaxation a challenge.

The singer’s approach to fitness aligns closely with modern geriatric health recommendations. While she focuses on aesthetics, experts suggest that her specific combination of exercises is vital for long-term functional independence.
When discussing her methods, InStyle highlighted that her routine touches upon the essential pillars of health for women in this age bracket.
Daniel Galindo, director of Innovation and Experience at VivaGym, notes that as individuals age, training must shift from mere weight loss to a focus on four critical areas:
Strength: Essential for combating the loss of muscle mass associated with aging and improving bone density.
Cardiovascular Endurance: Necessary for heart health and emotional well-being.
Balance: A key factor in preventing falls and injuries.
Mobility: Crucial for maintaining joint range of motion and reducing muscular discomfort.
By integrating strength training with cardio and ballet-based movement, Sánchez is effectively addressing the biological realities of aging while maintaining the high energy levels required for her global concert tours.
