Through eleven astonishing stories, the author combines personal memory, sports reporting, and social portraiture, offering a unique look at how soccer is intertwined with daily life and emotional bonds.

That moment, experienced at his grandparents' house, becomes the common thread of a journey through Ander Izagirre's memory. From there, the author unfolds eleven fascinating stories that connect his family to the history of San Sebastián and the Atocha stadium, a place where smells, emotions, and experiences mingled.
