Young first-time parents Beatriz and Iker say they have lived all over Spain, but wanted their child to 'grow up close to nature' and near her maternal grandparents. Baby Ainara has caused a stir in Los Giles, given that nobody has been born to anyone living in the village since 1968.
The population has since declined as a result, and only around 60 people are on the census. Beatriz and Iker say they take the baby, who was born three weeks ago, out into the village every day so that the mostly-elderly residents can coo over her.
“Everyone's really pleased – this is a celebration,” said one of the residents. Nearly everyone in Los Giles has had a chance to hold Ainara at least once, and her parents constantly receive visits from their neighbors.
There's a short video report in Spanish here.
