With the arrival of summer and the high temperatures, the serious problems of working under the sun in the central hours of the day begin to appear. And it is that Spain is also right now with the first heat wave of summer, in which certain Spanish cities, such as Córdoba or Seville, have reached up to 44 degrees of temperature.
And it is that this great rise in thermometers has caused a 47-year-old man to die in Aznalcóllar, Seville, due to heat stroke, after having been working in the field.
This suffocating temperature has put several points of geography on red alert. For this reason, many sectors such as construction have implemented the new intensive working day, to reduce exposure to the sun at critical hours. And given the great effect that it is having on the entire population, the Antena 3 program Y ahora Sonsoles has connected live with a kiosk worker in Córdoba, who is considered the lifeline of many of the citizens.
“I am from Córdoba and I am 63 years old, I believe that no one can stand this,” he declared. The reporter commented that his job was also considered risky and she asked him what his method was to withstand these temperatures. ”I’m a bit rough, but the solution to this problem (the kioskero drank water, spit it out and poured it over his body) is the only thing I can do,” she confessed.
This atypical solution from Cordoba has left the presenter speechless. “But let’s see Don Ángel, we have been impressed,” said Ónega. ”What are the tourists going to think? They are going to say that these Spaniards are a bit regular,” she commented. ”They are going to think that we are in Andalusia, excuse me, I have warned you that I am a bit coarse, it is the only system,” she insisted.
The collaborators of the program did not understand the step of drinking the water and then spitting it out, when the water could be poured directly from the bottle. “It’s effective, you have to spit because otherwise it’s not funny in Andalusia, it’s a family tradition,” explained the interviewee. ”His mother has been a saint,” declared Sonsoles Ónega.
