Eva Longoria traces her Asturian roots

In June 2007, Raúl Longoria, uncle of the Hollywood star, Eva Longoria, confirmed to LA NUEVA ESPAÑA the Asturian origins of the family, settled first in Mexico, and then in southern Texas. Now it is Eva herself – or Gabrielle Solis, her name in the series “Desperate Housewives” – who announces a visit to Asturias in November, with her parents, Enrique Longoria and Eva Mireles, to see where they come from. .

The reasons for the trip can go even further. As LA NEW SPAIN has learned, Eva Longoria Parker – when she got married she added the last name of her husband, NBA player Tony Parker – is preparing a television documentary about her Asturian origins. The film will tell the story of the ancestors who went to Mexico. The same one that this newspaper told its readers in 2007. The American history of the ancestors of the beautiful Latina goes back to Lorenzo Suárez de Longoria who arrived at the viceroyalty of New Spain (Mexico) in the year 1603 from the town of Longoria, in Belmonte de Miranda. The surname is also spread by the Grado council.

In Seville he took a ship that took him to America, where he founded a new line of Longorias. Enrique Longoria, Eva's father, was born in Rachal, Brooks County, Texas. In the town of Falfurrias, also in Texas, he married the actress's mother, Ella Eva Mireles.

The artist, born in Corpus Christi (Texas), wears the most desired 1.57 in the United States. She studied dance and kinisiology. The best proof that she feels Asturian is that she usually wears a victory cross.
