Cristina Blanco, Prominent 1990s Spanish Clairvoyant, Dies at 61

Her son confirmed her death and used a public letter to cast her life as shaped by illness, care needs and a retreat from television.

Overview

  • Miguel Ángel Muñoz confirmed his mother’s death in a public Instagram letter and said she passed away peacefully, offering a personal account of her final days.
  • Spanish outlets report the cause of death as an infarction that occurred while Blanco was admitted to a care residence in Majadahonda.
  • Blanco rose to national fame in the 1990s as a television clairvoyant and tarot reader, regularly appearing on Telecinco’s Día a día and advising celebrities.
  • Her later years were marked by serious health setbacks, including the amputation of a leg and long-term residency in a care facility, together with a past bipolar diagnosis and earlier legal problems that contributed to her withdrawal from public life.
  • Muñoz’s tribute has focused attention on the human cost of celebrity, the family care he provided, and broader conversations about mental health and the fragility of public fame.
