International career
In June 2013 national team coach Ignacio Quereda selected Landa in the Spain squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[4] She was also part of Spain's team at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.[1]
Personal
She wore the 23 shirt in Atlético in homage to former footballer Iván de la Peña, well known for his shaved head, who was an inspirational model when she suffered from Burkitt's lymphoma as a child.[5]
Honours
gollark: Like someone said in the comments, they can just run it all the way to the heat death of the universe instantly and fix that.
gollark: I don't see why you would want that. One infinitely powerful hypercomputer can do the same as whatever amount of infinitely powerful hypercomputers in zero time.

gollark: I didn't say it was proof, just that it wasn't disproof.
gollark: <@221827050892296192> Those are just maths. There are no *actual* circles to infinite precision in the real world. We just know that the abstract idea of circles and whatnot follows those rules, and matches real-world ones fairly well in most situations.
