He became known in Spain in the 1990s as the presenter of La botica de la abuela on Televisión Española.[1] Later, he worked with other Spanish broadcasters, including Antena 3, Telecinco, and EITB.[2][3]
Life and career
Alfaro was born in Arguedas, Navarre in 1952.[4] He later directed a naturist medical centre.[5]
He gained recognition through La botica de la abuela, a television programme on TVE in which he gave traditional and household remedies for common ailments.[1] In January 2000, his Antena 3 segment La botica de Txumari was spun off from Sabor a ti into an independent daily programme co-presented with Anabel Barrado.[2] He later published books on health and natural remedies, including El gran libro de la vida sana.[3][6]
In 2014, the Cofradía del Aceite de Navarra named him one of its new embajadores de honor.[5]
