Fifth of seven brothers, Miguel Ángel left school at 15 and worked in a garage and then at Torrequebrada Golf Club collecting golf balls on the driving range and as a caddie.

The old centre, which is easily walkable, is replete with an intriguing historical medley: Roman columns, Moorish arches and Golden Age palaces, whose pretty plant-filled patios can be glimpsed through intricate iron gates. The city is famous for its ebullient inhabitants and their love of fiestas, its tasty tapas - succulent small dishes of Iberian pork, blue-fin tuna and juicy red tomatoes supped in characterful bars; and its flamboyant flamenco - watch the mesmerising dancers and musicians perform their dramatic art form in tablaos.

Slice off the tops of these leaves and the stem, so what you have remaining is just the innermost part of the artichoke. Cut these into quarters and toss with the lemon juice.
