the four Patrocínio sisters who are sweeping the neighboring country

Together they form one of the most famous families in Portugal and, in the neighboring country, they have nothing to envy of the Kardashians when it comes to popularity. The Patrocínio sisters are true stars, not only because of social networks but also because of their continuous appearances on television and the press, after having been able to connect and interest thousands of people with what happens to them on a daily basis.

Their names are Mariana (39 years old), Carolina (37), Inés (32) and Rita (29), mothers of twelve children in total with their respective partners or exes. Their beauty and luxurious lifestyle are their main assets to capture people’s attention, but also the fact that they always seem very connected and, no less important, that they look quite similar physically (since this is especially striking) . Their professions are diverse and highly qualified, but what all four of them agree on is the ‘savoir faire’ to stay at the top.

Only they are more than enough and are enough to cover the covers of paper magazines, star in reports in digital media and do all kinds of advertising campaigns, but there is more. His mother, Teresa Vieira de Almeida, is also revered by many as being largely responsible for creating this saga. They often say that her genes are very valuable, so much so that she herself has an enviable appearance at almost 60 (she is 59) and could even be mistaken as one of their daughters.

It doesn’t end here by any means, since the Patrocínios have two younger stepsisters on their mother’s side, named Monika (22 years old) and Vicky (about to turn 21). The first of them also currently resides in Valencia where she is studying at the European Sport Business School, as stated in her curricular profile. In any case, regardless of their work or what each one is training, the majority are influencers.

The Portuguese sisters often brag about their trips, their weekends together in a spectacular family country house with animals they own in the Alentejo region (about 200 kilometers south of Lisbon), their vacations on the beaches of the Algarve … all this together with the passion they have for sports and physical exercise, since among their priorities is taking good care of themselves and eating healthy. In a way, their Spanish equivalent could perfectly be the Pombo (María, Marta and Lucía).
