At the hour of departure must take all possible forces for such a heavy burden.
For the first time in its 153 year history, Christmas was no longer in Gramalote a merry carnival to become a painful and heartbreaking human tragedy.
For Saturday was planned a big party in the main square on the occasion of the ninth. But what we saw was really shocking: people sad, scared and afraid collecting everything they could take to leave the town with the uncertainty may not get back anymore.
The manger, the villacincos and Santa Claus figures were replaced by televisions, mattresses, kitchen utensils, cardboard boxes, water bottles, and the most unusual objects that you can take to the shoulder when a journey uncertain and hazardous.
Gramalote yesterday was totally different from a village up on Wednesday.
The fault line on which is seated Gramalote and which have been many stories and legends was probably the origin of a landslide or avalanche from the Cerro de la Cruz, which also prompted a series of strange rumblings in the bowels of land.
On this phenomenon more than 100 houses collapsed and several streets and sidewalks were opened as if it had been an earthquake. Lamp posts were halved and the church also suffered several cracks.
