The married couple never appeared together in public, nor did they let their two children, Sandra Ortega Mera and Marcos Ortega Mera, be pictured by intrusive paparazzi. However, known to be his first business partner, it was Rosalía Mera, who became Ortega’s first wife. That is the reason for no one being aware of Ortega’s first marriage date. Known to be publicity discreet, Amancio Ortega spends millions of dollars to protect the privacy of his life. The private life of Amancio Ortega is terra incognita. In 1966, Amancio Ortega married Rosalía Mera. Amancio was responsible for developing new fashion trends, Antonio (his brother) was heading the commercial issues, Josefa (his sister) was responsible for bookkeeping, and Rosalía Mera Goyenechea (Janu– August 15, 2013) was performing as his business partner. The founder of the bathing robes business organized Confecciones GOA into a family company. In 1963, having gained ten years of managing sewing cooperatives experience, Amancio Ortega Gaona founded his first company, Confecciones GOA, S.A. Ex-employees of the sewing cooperatives ran by Ortega shared with media how thrilled the Galicia ladies were to get that job with great conditions, and how excited they were to see their boss being very close to the workers. The product line included: lingerie, babywear, and nightgowns. Ortega started to organize women into sewing cooperatives. In the 1950s, an autonomous community of Spain, Galicia, was a perfect spot for his business plan: poor job alternatives in combination with numerous single women who could sew pretty good. At the age of 16, Amancio Ortega was pondering on how to figure out potential client desires and, what is even more important, meet that demand. His brilliant business idea could have come during one of such rides, and Ortega realized that to earn good money, one should give customers what they want. Working hard at his teens, Amancio Ortega enjoyed riding his bicycle around the town, whenever he had free time. The customer has always driven the business model. Selling traditional shirts, caps, and cardigans, José Martínez, who inherited the Gala business from his father, has recently reported that the visitors never buy, they simply ask about his youth friend, Amancio. Frozen in time, Gala, a conventional shirts maker, is still active and open on one of La Coruña’s downtown corners. Amancio Ortega’s first job was a shop assistant at a local company called Gala, where he learned to make clothes by hand. His mother employed as a housemaid, Amancio heard her pleading for credit at local stores, unable to afford essential items, which made him leave school and start working at the age of 14. They lived in a beggarly house at the railway workers’ quarters. Being extremely poor, the Ortega family soon moved to La Coruña, Galicia, Spain, surviving due to Amancio father’s job at the local railway station. He was the youngest of four other children. Amancio Ortega Gaona was born on Ma(the beginning of the Civil War in Spain) in Busdongo de Arbas, a small village with less than 100 citizens located in the northern Spanish region, León.
