Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo is a historian, journalist and one of the most charismatic politicians of the Popular Party (PP) for Barcelona.. He is of Spanish, French and Argentine nationality. During this campaign, he became a media phenomenon and one of the most virulent critics against the Catalan independence movement.

Cayetana is of aristocratic origin, Argentinian and Spanish blood. She is the daughter of the XII Marquis of Casa Fuente, Juan Illán Álvarez de Toledo and Giraud. From him, he inherited his title of marchioness. His mother is Patricia Peralta Ramos, a woman of Argentine high society.
