TWO FRIENDS FORM THE BYTHESEA EVENTS TEAM IN FUERTEVENTURA

Mónica Toppazzini, co-founder of By The Sea was born and raised in Madagascar, Africa. Passionate about travel, culture and events, with fluent English, German, Spanish and, of course, native Italian and French, she has worked internationally until she settled in Fuerteventura. After several years as hotel manager in the Canary Islands, she undertook a wedding planning course organized with the collaboration of the Complutense University of Madrid. Her strengths: the ability to communicate easily with people and good organizational skills. Her weak point … like all Italians, fashion and everything that has style and elegance!

Raquel Lopéz, the other half of By The Sea, was born in León, a city in northern Spain. Passionate about communication and events, she holds a bachelor’s degree in Advertising and PR and MA Business and Management (Cambridge). She has a long professional career as a supervisor in the events department of large advertising agencies in Madrid. Her strength: she is multi-tasking, creative and resolute. Her weak point … too perfectionist and nonconformist.
