"The Alpujarra is in tears..."

A quote from today's Ideal, referring to the funeral in Cadiar of a young local woman who was murdered early this week by her partner. The couple were both serving in the military and the crime occurred in married quarters in Granada city. Uncomfortably, Cadiar is full to the gills with folk gathered for a fiesta, complete with all the usual bunting, flags, kids' entertainers and wine fountain. The sombre procession of military personnel carrying a coffin through the streets to the church must have been rather surreal amongst that lot. The paper says everyone in Cadiar knew Encarni - which didn't need saying, really, as everyone knows everyone in the Alpujarra. Story here, in Spanish.
