The challenge of Ángel Alonso
In the words of the director, Ángel Alonso, one of the biggest challenges of '[ELCANO Y MAGALLANES, THE FIRST ROUND TO THE WORLD] `was to create and give life to the sea. In all the productions he had made, he had always tried to avoid the vast ocean since the difficulty of recreating the sea itself was very high.
