The penya of Íllora, half a century against all odds
The penya of Íllora achieved its 50th despite supporting Barça outside Catalunya. Íllora has more R. Madrid supporters. However, the penya has survived during all these years as an ambassador of FC Barcelona in its territory.

The town of Íllora in Granada welcomed the president of FC Barcelona, Sandro Rosell, who came to join the penya’s 50th anniversary celebrations. The blaugrana maximum representative came along with head director of the Social Comission Pau Vilanova. Among a large child expectation, the president reminded “the goal of the Club is that of making all kinds Barça fans, because this club is a feeling”. On the other hand, Rosell also thanked the passion the supporters of Íllora have for Barça.
