The crack of high-sea fishing, the best team leader of the Spanish fishing and especially friend of all, with respect and affection of not a few at many points on the planet... has died Don Pascual Durá.

Born in the Granadina village of Baza under the sign of piscis... he left us at the age of 85. Pascual born in a humble family, but extremely working... mechanical study in Alicante, to later emigrate to Germany when he was newly married... already with a solid training as a technician was established in which would be his love from then on: Catalonia, and there he first founded a company of hardware and then one that would be in a short time of the great of the furniture sector: Barimueble.

Like everything he touched, he was impregnated with affection and affection and success. His company had a large projection, reaching over a hundred workers. But his profession, it was no obstacle for him to spend much of his free time, for what he really liked: the sea and the high fishing.

His sporting achievements have been very numerous: two absolute world championships, amen of Europeans and Spaniards... already in this century he completed his great palmaris with the two great events at the Circuíto level: the Rodman Circuit (which was held between 2002 and 2007), as well as the Metromar (2016-2018). Rest in peace our great friend Pascual.
