Aura's Early Life

Aura Garrido was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1989. Her dad, Tomás Garrido, is a composer and leads orchestras. Her mom, Pilar Sánchez, is a painter.

Aura started playing the piano when she was just four years old. Soon after, she began practicing ballet. She also learned to speak English because her best friend growing up spoke English.

After finishing high school, she went to a famous drama school in Madrid. She studied acting there for three years. However, she left the school in 2010. This was because she got a role in the movie Plans for Tomorrow. For this role, she won an award called the Silver Biznaga for Best Supporting Actress.
