Ciclos Minaco, help needed please. Spanish speakers especially!

[dnc1]

I have recently started work on a new project.
It is a "Minaco", from the late 40's/early '50s and it's a lovely, lugged steel frameset made in Palma, Mallorca as can be seen from the headbadge.....

The frame has, to me anyway, a really beautiful patina and I intend to leave it as is.

Its a fairly rare marque and online info is equally rare.
The name "Minaco" stems from the owner/frame builders name, MIguel NAdal COmas. They were constructed near the velodrome in Palma. This much I have learned from my friend Jaume who amazingly gave me this as a gift recently. We communicated as best we could, but Spanish unfortunately is not my strong point, and this is why I am appealing for help here.
As you can see below, there are the remnants of 2 transfers (decals) on the frame.
The first is obviously what's left of the manufacturers logo I think.....

The second is the one I'm struggling with. Can anyone tell me what that lettering might read.....

It's a long shot I know, but I'm hoping there are some people in this great, cycling community that can shed some light on this.
Many thanks,
Darren.

Darren, I'll post on CR - do you have an overall shot? I know there are a couple of members from Iberia there.

Thanks Ron.
I have this shot of the frame, I'll take one of the frameset with forks tomorrow.

@bulldog 1935.
Here are some more shots of frameset and details......

Paint appears to be originally a red laquer over a gold undercoat, what I would call 'Flamboyant Red'.
Frame has been drilled for rod brakes, but I'll never find these. I'll be using a 'Velosteel' coaster hub, a modern, Czech built 'Torpedo' copy.
I'm sourcing mainly period French parts and will build it up as a sporty, lightweight, single speed roadster.
As I said above, any Spanish language experts on here?
Yours hopefully,
Darren.

Some parts amassed so far, some new to me (chainset that came with the bike), some from my parts bin ('Brown' saddle, wood rims and 'Lyotard' pedals), and some new (cotter pins and the little horn I purchased in Mallorca, it sounds like a comedy, squeaky dog toy!).

An entirely gratuitous shot of the 'Velodromo de Tirador' in Palma, where the Minaco workshop was sited.....

no luck from Iberia on this maker - been swapping pm's with a gentleman in Portugal.

I see "Tubos" here, and can make out "Construct... Garantizada" on your pic.
A neighbor is from Spain, Chili and I see him every few days on our morning mission, will ask him about Minaco next time.
