To Kiko
They gave him the nickname El Cabra
for driving drug boats recklessly.
The murderer of the civil guards of Barbate could have been named that because of his unattractive face, but it would not be surprising if his life were to be filmed that he would end up played by Mario Casas.
Sito Miñanco looked like a divorcee who goes out of his way to flirt with waitresses who could be his daughters, but in
Fariña
he was the attractive Javier Rey;
Pablo Escobar had the languid gaze of Wagner Moura and the seductive looks of Benicio del Toro.
Under Griselda
's makeup
is the stunning Sofía Vergara and she can be seen even behind a more ridiculous mask than the one Jeannette Rodríguez used to escape from prison in
Lady in Pink

I have argued with supposed feminists who tear their clothes at the lyrics of a song, but they do not question that when they consume any type of drug they are financing the trafficking of women, also of immigrants and weapons.
