The last fight of Perucha, Spain’s cycling legend

Domingo Perucha is an institution of Spanish cycling. Some of the world’s most iconic bicycles have passed through his hands. His story is rooted in the 20th century: postwar, hunger, and hard work.

Now, Perucha (as he is known throughout Madrid) faces the last escape of his life: the Community of Madrid wants to evict him from his workshop.
