Yesterday in Fuengirola, we thanked you for what you had done for sport and education in Andalusia. At a gala in which your team was key in making it possible and I was lucky enough to be with your children.
You also made me debut in the national team.

I will remember you like this, as you asked me one day: laughing at anything, or most likely at ourselves.
