2023–24 Copa de la Reina de FútbolThe 2023–24 Copa de la Reina de Fútbol was the 42nd edition of the Spanish women's association football national cup organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Atlético Madrid were the defending champions; their efforts to retain the trophy were ended by Real Sociedad in the semi-finals. Barcelona won the title for a record-extending tenth time after they defeated Real Sociedad 8–0 in the final. With the eight goals scored, Barcelona equalled the biggest win ever in a Copa de la Reina final, matching Oiartzun's win 8–0 against Porvenir from the 1988 Copa de la Reina final. The final was the most attended Copa de la Reina final ever with 25,617 spectators, surpassing the 17,500 spectators that attended the 2018–19 final between Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid. The occasion was somewhat marred by the failure of the RFEF to send any delegation for the trophy and medal presentation, with the players forced to distribute the medals themselves from a box; the same 'snub' by the federation had occurred previously when the same teams contested the 2023 Supercopa final.
Gabriel(a)Gabriel(a) is a novel by Ecuadorian writer Raúl Vallejo Corral published in 2019 by Penguin Random House. It tells the story of Gabriela, a trans woman who falls in love with a businessman from Quito and who faces discrimination from society to achieve her dream of becoming a journalist. The plot was inspired by the story of Michelle Valencia, Colombia's first trans news anchor. Among the novel's themes are the social exclusion suffered by transgender people, exemplified by the various situations in which both the protagonist and her acquaintances have to deal with discrimination, including the lack of job opportunities, physical violence, and even the danger of falling victims to human trafficking and sexual slavery networks. It also explores the social changes that have taken place in terms of the acceptance of LGBT populations via references to classic works of Latin American and Ecuadorian LGBT literature. Each chapter in the novel has an illustration created by Ecuadorian artist Joaquín Serrano using a coffee drawing technique.
