Spanish exporter delivers 500 melons to national team
Melons will help energize Spain's European Championship
A Spanish fruit company hopes its delicious melons will help energize Spain's European Championship bid following its opening draw against Italy.
A truck filled with the fruit was delivered to the World Cup champions' training base in northern Poland, with the team having already enjoyed the Piel de Sapo melons for breakfast Tuesday morning. Frog skin refers to the colour of the fruit.
Spanish sports daily AS organized the 3,000-kilometre (1,865-mile) delivery from El Monarca, which is based in Murcia, Spain.
Spain's bid to become the first team to win three straight major titles continues Thursday against Group C rival Ireland.
