“Málaga has become a country apart, a veritable island… Husbands deceive their wives, wives their husbands. The priests make threats but no one pays attention. There isn’t a virgin left and all the men are fags.”

We no longer thought about the future; we were content to live for the day. Our illusions had dispersed but our stock of drugs had grown.
