In 'Campo del Gas', José Luis Garci, a renowned film director and boxing expert, immerses us in an emotional and nostalgic look at the golden days of Spanish boxing. With his usual literary mastery, Garci explores this sport that experienced its peak in the era he analyzes, evoking figures such as Vadillo and Alcántara. This book is a tribute to those times in Campo del Gas, where boxing was much more than a sport.
