Toni Cruz and Josep Maria Mainat bought a motor yacht in Greece, which they rented to tourists. The vessel's appearance was impeccable: a 1950s design, a large funnel, a cruising stern, and a distinct vessel and superstructure... One <em>little steamer</em>: ideal for people with little experience at sea.</p>]]></description>

He didn't seem to mind: for more than fifty years, he had a flair and pride for connecting with the mass public, regardless of criticism, whether as a member of the comedy trio La Trinca or as the creator of successful but controversial programs like <em>Martian Chronicles</em>Toni Cruz's talent has faded at the age of 78. He would have turned 79 on July 14th. His friend and colleague Josep Maria Mainat received the news of his death while traveling in Athens, Greece, and this afternoon he was trying to find a flight that would allow him to return to Barcelona as soon as possible, as he explained on TV3.</p>]]></description>

"She [Sandra Solé, one of the intermediaries in these transactions] told us: 'You'll get paid somehow. I thought I'd tell Barça to hire you,'" she adds. "She told us: 'No, you won't be working. It's simply a contract, and they'll pay you,'" adds the other sister.</p>]]></description>
