La Copa del Rey

On Wednesday, 19 May 2010, Atletico de Madrid and Sevilla CF played the Final of the Copa del Rey football championship (The King's Cup). The final score was 0-2. As my team since I can remember, Atletico de Madrid, lost this game, I decided to rematch the Final during my journey. For such an occasion, a mould of the Copa del Rey trophy was produced, in order to be able to replicate it as many times as I wanted.

On the 26th May, one week after the official game, I arrived to Estella, where I introduced myself to local kids as a professional football trophy maker. Later, an improvised football match was played in the main square of the village, while I was cycling around it, producing several trophies for the winners.

As long as it was getting late, and some kids started to feel it was time to go home, they run to meet their parents who were in bars and terraces near by the square, asking them ‘mum dad please, can I stay a little bit longer? There’s a man who makes football trophies out of the sun!’
