Mourning at the port of BCN for the loss of a beloved coupon seller
The workers at the port of Barcelona are mourning the sudden and tragic death of Carol García, beloved ONCE coupon seller and resident of the Raval neighborhood. Carol was known and loved by longshoremen, clerks and other port employees, not only for her work selling coupons, but also for her dedication to caring for the street cats that swarm around the docks.
The young woman lost her life yesterday in a tragic accident. While riding her bike, she fell in front of a truck that couldn’t avoid her. The witnesses describe the accident as a fatality, a misfortune that no one could foresee or avoid.
A great loss for the port community
The Port Authority of Barcelona has expressed its condolences for the loss of Carol García. In a statement, they emphasized that Carol was part of the big family of the Barcelona port community, as she visited all the facilities and terminals selling ONCE coupons. In addition, the statement highlights that Carol was a great lover of the cat colony that roams the jetties, and that she was always willing to help and care for them.
A life dedicated to selling coupons and the welfare of cats
Carol was a very active person and committed to her work. He estimated that he traveled about 20 kilometers a day by bicycle to sell coupons and at the same time pamper the harbor cats. In addition, she was a voracious reader and was always aware of what was happening around her. Her loss leaves a void in the port community and in the hearts of all those who knew her.
