Granada pasa la noche en la calle por el miedo a nuevas réplicas: “Esto acojona mucho, no he dormido nada”

La capital y su área metropolitana intentan retomar la normalidad mientras una multitud duerme en coches, aceras o jardines públicos como los de Armilla, donde esta mañana aún queda un centenar de personas

Granada pasa la noche en la calle por el miedo a nuevas réplicas: “Esto acojona mucho, no he dormido nada”

In Granada, residents have been sleeping on the streets due to fear of further aftershocks following a magnitude 4.8 earthquake that shook the metropolitan area on Tuesday. Entire families, including Encarna Narváez and her husband Antonio Morales, have set up makeshift camps in the Virgilio Castilla Carmona Car park in Armilla, a town of 25,300 people located south of Granada. They have resorted to sleeping on beach chairs, a tent, and even a makeshift table with a few churros for breakfast.

Encarna Narváez described their night as "awful" and said she "felt paralyzed" with anxiety, "and had an anxiety attack." Her son Carlos Morales echoed her sentiments, saying, "You hear any noise or bump and think that the ground will shake again. You're constantly on edge." Around a hundred more people were also seen sleeping under trees in the park, still plagued by the fear of the ground shaking.
