Esto lo hice hace tiempo en la cafetería de Yurena, en San Fernando de Maspalomas, Gran Canaria (aunque aquí siguen llamándola Panadería de Francisco, por el anterior dueño). En ese lugar he tenido muchísimas ideas, conversaciones, momentos hermosos, otros más bien tensos. También he hecho amigos en este …
