This box from Expo 92 dates itself evidently. I wish they were all so easy to date, although in truth it would lose a very fun part of the research. I am very excited to have this piece because Curro fascinates me and generates a lot of curiosity. So here is an excuse to research more about him.

Who is Curro? Curro was the unforgettable mascot of Expo '92 in Seville. He was designed by the illustrator Heinz Edelmann, and his colorful figure became one of the most recognizable symbols of 90s Spain and the optimistic spirit with which the country presented itself to the world (although it wasn't very well received at first). His name comes from the colloquial diminutive for Francisco, a very classic Spanish name. And it can be said that in Spain, Curro is as famous as other iconic mascots like Cobi or Naranjito.
