Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on January 14, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Joseph Perez! May your birthday be brighter than Spain's Golden Age and livelier than Latin America's independence movements—thank goodness neither depended on your cake-baking skills. From unraveling Spanish history to navigating through intricate tales of revolutions, you've truly shown that the pen is mightier (and substantially safer) than any sword.

As founder of La Maison des Pays Ibériques, you've brought vibrant Hispanic culture alive in France—probably saving countless Parisians from thinking flamenco was a cheese type or tacos were desserts. Here's wishing you endless adventures filled with laughter and success; may every page turn sweeter!
