His three children arrive with him: Ari, Mencía, and Patrick. Three teenagers who are used to always getting their way, and who, along with a fourth new student – a crown prince named Phillipe – will cause a ruckus inside the school.
We see that Ari begins a relationship with Guzmán, but also shows his interest in Samuel; Mencía convinces Rebeka to open her heart, but problems with her parents affect their romance; Patrick first joins Omar and Ander but then gets in the way, and Prince Phillipe approaches Cayetana but makes some unforgivable mistakes.

Patrick (Manu Ríos), Ari (Carla Díaz) and Mencía (Martina Caraddi) are the new colleagues who have to adapt to “Las Encinas”. In addition to being the children of the new school principal, Benjamín Blanco (Diego Martín), they will be partly responsible for causing the main problem in season 4 of “Elite.

In the fourth season of “Elite”, we see that new relationships emerge between students. One of them is the one starring Mencía Blanco, a character played by the actress Martina Cariddi, with Armando.

“When I entered the series I knew nothing, almost nothing about my character. The only thing I knew is that I was going to have a plot with Claudia [Salas], which was something that seemed wonderful to me and that’s it. I knew a little about where to direct the character, but I didn’t know that he was going to have such a delicate plot ”, explains Cariddi about the role played by Mencía Blanco this season.
“So it was like: ‘Ufff, let’s see where I’m getting into and see how we tell this in the best possible way,” the actress details the development of her character.
