Las Rozas is where the Tabese clinic operated from the 1970s through the 1980s and into the mid-1990s. Its history becomes significant when investigators discover that the clinic’s name had concealed the identity of its well-known titular doctor: Xabier Markina, father of Judge Markina.

Setting and the Tabese Clinic

The clinic was based in Las Rozas, and its titular doctor became known publicly as Doctor Tabese. He enjoyed considerable prestige in Madrid society for innovative treatments imported from the United States. The available account establishes the clinic’s long span of activity, but gives no further description of its premises or the treatments themselves.

The Name Behind the Clinic

The doctor had adopted the name of his clinic for his medical practice. That choice helps explain why the investigation had failed to find him under his family name. Confirmation from the Madrid Medical College eventually linked the Las Rozas clinic and its professional alias to Xabier Markina.

Later History and Narrative Significance

By the time investigators identified him, Markina had died and had long since withdrawn from public life. He had left psychology and was living in Hondarribia, where he was buried; the exact date of his death was not known. His identification as the father of Judge Markina connected the obscure history of a clinic in Las Rozas to the investigation’s present-day power structure.
