Miguel Aranguren had a life-changing experience while traveling to Kenya in his teenage years. There, his experiences became a journal full of captivating stories. These writings reached Luis Valls, who, recognizing Miguel’s potential, encouraged him to publish them. This marked the beginning of Miguel’s literary career.

Luis Valls was distinguished by many qualities, but above all by his discreet style of assistance, a “silent charity” that preferred to stay out of the public eye. Miguel deeply valued this attitude of unpretentious generosity.

Luis Valls was an admirer of journalism, so it’s no surprise that Miguel and he became great friends.

In addition to connecting with world of journalism, Luis had a diverse network of friends ranging from celebrities like Julio Iglesias to trade unionists of all ideologies. His help, often unknown to those who received it, was a testament to his selfless commitment. “If someone was going through a tough time, there was his call or even his intervention, without them ever knowing that Luis Valls was behind it. That’s what makes him a unique individual,” Miguel highlights.

One phrase Miguel also cherishes from Luis is “everything is for the best” an expression that encapsulates a worldview based on peace of mind and kindness without expectations.

Their friendship reflects how humility and selfless support can leave a lasting mark. Luis Valls demonstrated that true charity is measured by its impact on others’ lives, not by the recognition received.
