Note: While the document has some Spanish text in it (titles and names), the primary language of the document is English, as all substantive content and descriptions are in English. Therefore, I've kept the query in English. If you'd prefer a query based on the Spanish elements in the text, please let me know and I can provide an alternative query in Spanish.
