Se trata del siguiente título de una nota de prensa:
"Mallorca, ***tierra talismán*** para los jugadores españoles"
Y sigue una larga relación de jugadores que han triunfado en esa isla.
Había pensado algo como "lucky island" o "island of luck", pero veo en google que son nombres de juegos de ordenador o de alguna isla oriental.
Agradezco todas vuestras opiniones.
