Seville Airport
La piel del tamborSeville Airport enters the narrative as the point of arrival for the Saudi buyers whose purchase of Puerto Targa is poised to reinforce Pencho Gavira’s church redevelopment plan. Its brief appearance links an impending commercial transaction to the political timetable surrounding the church.
Role in the Deal
As Gavira discusses the project with Octavio Machuca, he connects the airport arrival to a specific sequence: the Saudis of Sun Qafer Alley are due to land in the city, and the purchase of Puerto Targa is expected to be completed. The airport thus marks the practical beginning of a deal whose consequences extend beyond the transaction itself.
Connection to the Church Project
The buyers’ arrival is timed for the day before the project comes up for debate. Gavira expects that, once the Puerto Targa agreement is signed, its presence on the table will discourage opposition: in his view, the completed deal will leave no one willing to object. Seville Airport therefore functions as a hinge between an approaching business agreement and Gavira’s effort to secure approval for the church project.
