He has since resurrected his business. Born in the Balearic Islands, Adrover left school at the age of eleven to work on the family farm helping to harvest almonds. Within his creative imagination, the people of his town and his family—his p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
