Pepa Romero’s tenure wrapped up yesterday as Sonsoles Onega signed off for the holidays. The new season is set to begin Monday at 17:00 with a fresh program, so this Friday offered a brief, bittersweet chance to bid farewell to the presenter who had steered the show for more than a month.
Pilar Vidal recalls the moment Romero thought the show was over and was caught by surprise. “Wait a minute. You’re leaving. Goodbyes are heavy,” she notes. “The team behind this program wanted me to thank you for your hard work, your warmth, and for making everything feel effortless for everyone. They’ve prepared a very special gift and we hope you enjoy this video capturing everything you’ve done this month.” Vidal spoke with evident warmth, standing beside the presenter as the moment unfolded.
What followed was a montage on screen: Pepa Romero moving across the set, singing and dancing to a string of tunes with infectious energy. Among the performances, “Yas Yaz” stood out as a lively highlight, a moment clearly staged to celebrate the tenure being concluded. In the wake of the video, Romero communicated a pre-show message to the viewers, posted just as the program was about to begin.
“I wanted you to have a boyfriend or a trip, but I have a very special message for you,” Vidal teased before showing a video that featured Josep Pedrerol, who shares the show with Romero in a segment known as the “Inexhaustible Point.” The moment was crafted to underline the camaraderie and the shared history that has defined the season, while also acknowledging Romero’s contributions on air.
In a later message, Pedrerol spoke from his current location in Barcelona, explaining that he could not be there in person but wanted to send a heartfelt goodbye to the season. He referenced the memories from a sunny summer when Romero masterfully hosted her program and teased a final performance that would leave the audience with a lasting impression. Pedrerol encouraged Romero to embrace a moment of personal expression, hinting at a guitar that had been set up nearby.
The exchange concluded with Pedrerol’s warm send-off: a wish for Pepa to grab the guitar resting nearby and deliver a closing song that would seal the farewell with a personal touch. Romero, drawing attention to this suggestion, accepted the challenge and picked up the guitar to sing, turning the farewell into a candid, musical goodbye to the audience and to the season that had just wrapped. The moment captured the essence of the show’s spirit—a blend of lighthearted performance, genuine appreciation, and the unspoken bond between host and crew.
