The novel "Menta y Nata" Gold Edition is the first historical novel about football. It will take you back to the origins of Betis and an unforgettable era. A novel that unites Betis, history, and literature.

Synopsis :

Almost no one knows that the dinner that gave rise to the Generation of '27 was paid for by Sánchez Mejías, president of Betis, a friend of Lorca, a bullfighter, and a writer. Almost no one knows that we were league champions shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War and the conflict that disbanded that colossal squad. Almost no one knows that Lorca's execution is linked to the city of Seville, to Betis, to Luis Cernuda, and to Queipo de Llano. Rafael Gordillo and the 2005 Cup. The founding of the club. And, in the meantime, a love story set between Seville and Granada. Because while the world crumbles, we human beings have the foolish habit of falling in love. That's why this is a novel about football and literature, which mixes the opposite poles of life, sensations as disparate as mint and cream. The first historical novel about football. And about Betis.
