Please, stop it.
It is ridiculous to relate everything to Sorolla.
There have been many famous people who have also passed through here, this madness makes no sense.
I'm ashamed of myself.
What about the "fashion show?" What they did in the Port, my mother, what a horrible thing.
Please stop this madness, it's delusional.
