Raquel del Rosario Macías (born November 3, 1982) is a Spanish singer. She is member of the band El Sueño de Morfeo (Morpheus` Dream).

Born in Teror, Gran Canaria, Spain, she is the second of six children. At the age of 14 she started playing guitar and writing the first of many songs. Raquel, a self-taught musician, was 17 when she met David Feito from Asturias, who headed a Celtic-based music group.

In 2000 Raquel left her native Gran Canaria for Asturias with David and joined his group, Xemà, finally to see their first album released. Soon after Raquel and David met Juan Luis Suárez, and the three created El Sueño de Morfeo. Raquel del Rosario is the vocalist of this Spanish Band, and she has composed most of their songs.

Raquel met two-time Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso in a program for Spanish radio station Cadena SER. Rumors emerged that the two were married 17 November 2006, but both have denied the rumor. In the summer of 2007, rumors emerged that they were no longer together because Raquel was on tour with her band so she wasn`t with Fernando while he was racing; new pictures of both of them cut those rumors and confirmed they are still together.

Despite their initial denials of their marriage, the secret was revealed several times between February and August 2008 when Fernando repeatedly referred to Raquel as his wife.
