A self-made PA, I am qualified as an International Assistant Manager from the School of Lausanne and then went on to accumulate 25+ years of experience as a Personal Assistant, working for several wealthy families, in family-offices and multinational businesses, before launching in 2006, my own – Alberta La Grup – using knowledge I had gathered over the years and a huge network of personal contacts.

According to my experience, there are at least 137 Attributes and Capabilities as a PA, the strong points that define my senior profile are:
I know delegating personal organization tasks is not easy. It requires a great deal of confidence, absolute discretion and masterful efficiency. Every day. Always. I do know.
A Personal Assistant is a trustworthy professional at your complete disposal. One who not only tends to all aspects of your everyday life, but also anticipates your personal and family needs, thus allowing you to focus on what is really most important to you.

There is no client exactly like another, for this, there is no service exactly like another. I will adapt myself to your necessities, from re-organizing your library and your cupboards, to organizing your personal agenda punctually… you can put me in charge of coordinating your personal staff and the necessities of the home, or I can design each month the experiences that you will enjoy with your best friends, or organize your private and personal agenda… you will never again lose a piece of information or miss a date! The requests required by my clients are numerous, as are their imaginations and the possibilities of my services. .
If you decide to separate your personal life from your business life, if you prefer that your office secretary dedicates their time strictly to clients, if neither you or your spouse has enough free time to dedicate to organizing your hobbies, personal life, trips, or you don´t won´t to or you don´t have the energy…there are many reasons and for all of them I can provide the solution.

Some of our clients use to request a total confidentiality of their identity, but others give us consent to express their opinions on the service. We are very proud of what our clients think about what we do...
Great Results, Expert, High Integrity. “We have found Lourdes Carbó to be a very efficient highly-organised professional who has established an extensive and impressive network of contacts that she is able to activate quickly. Her work was thorough, on the mark and very professionally set up. Her priority is to understand customer needs and confidentiality. In addition, she is a charming person that knows how to interact with people well.”
Verónica Fisas (Spain) .
Since living in Barcelona some years ago, I had become fascinated with the prospect of running Catalunya's mythical Carros de Foc ultra-race. The course, deep in the Spanish Pyrenees, The Chariots of Fire race is extremely difficult and the logistics are daunting, especially for an American with little knowledge of Catalan. Alberta la Grup, through Lourdes Carbo and Xavi Mendez, handled every aspect of my training, nutrition, route planning, logistical support and arrangements on both ends of the run itself. All I had to do was concentrate on finishing!! The experience lived up to every expectation that I had and I will surely count it among the most memorable events that I have ever taken part in. I simply could not have done it on my own. Lourdes' planning and Xavi was with me every step of the way - literally . Xavi guided me to my goal, which was to finish the 50 mile course in under 24 hours. I will never forget a single step!!

Just wanted to drop you a note to say that we all will have very fond memories of our time in Spain, thanks largely to the care and personal attention you so generously gave to our total experience. I will also treasure the personal friendship that you gave us. I hope you will have a pleasant and restful remainder of the month; I look forward to my next visit to Spain. Stay well. With kind personal regards.

The dust has settled and Ferrán Adriá is now an even more well-known figure in Hong Kong. One of the attendees to our dinner is a famous restaurateur and a columnist for a very popular food magazine actually published an article about our dinner - his words are well respected and attending Ferrán Adriá's dinner has become a dream for many Chinese people now! Thank you for organizing such as well. Great memories of a great evening!”.
Vivian Chen (Hong Kong, China)
Really thank you so much for an amazing experience at el Bulli! I really will never forget it and promise to tell everyone how well arranged the whole thing was!”.

The Carros de Foc Experience was beyond anything that I know how to describe and believe me I have been trying to describe it since my personal trainner and I finished at Refuge. It starts out simply enough with the goal of completing the circuit in under 24 hours whether by hiking or by running or by crawling and scrambling. With each ascent and descent of a pass, with each foot step and foot slip the sheer beauty and difficulty of traversing the Pyrenees is embedded into both your body and your psyche even your soul by the end. Without our personal trainner from Alberta La Grup there to help us through the training and the actual race, I believe we would still be in the mountains wandering around. “

Ms. Carbó is an excellent person and her services made my life much more easier when I decided to move from one country to another. I truly recommend her services to anyone who has time constraints but at the same time wants to keep a balanced and fun life. Top Qualities: Expert, High Integrity, Creative.

A Personal Assistant (PA) is a professional who you completely trust and who is in charge of resolving, in a personalized and confidential way, all the tasks related with your daily life, for people like you who know that to have more time is a luxury. All the attentions of a PA are of a limited edition. They are designed unically for each client. Among many other benefits, having a personal assistant will improve the quality of your life and in many occasions help to reduce the cost of these services.

Social Commitment
I believe that these people are like butterflies, they shake their wings and they are capable of moving around the world… giving back to a part of society of what is given to us, is not only a necessity but a responsibility.
My position as a PA to people with certain power offers me the possibility to collaborate voluntarily in many diverse altruistic initiatives by the hand of my clients. I truly feel fortunate to be able to contribute to them.
My plans for the future, include devoting myself to fundraising projects to promote sexually-abused children protection programs.
