Seville turns to María Jiménez, a woman of race, with an indomitable spirit and ahead of her time. The burning chapel, at the City Hall headquarters of the capital of Seville, has remained open to the public from this Thursday the 7th until 10:00 in the morning on Friday. More than 30,000 admirers, including neighbors and visitors, have said their last goodbye to the beloved Sevillian artist. To fulfill her last wish, a horse carriage transports her mortal remains to the Church of Santa Ana, in the heart of her Triana neighborhood, where a funeral mass will be held for her soul. Later, in the San Fernando cemetery, she will receive her burial, in her family pantheon.
The coffin with the mortal remains of María Jiménez left the Sevillian Town Hall minutes before 11:00 in the morning and was placed in a horse-drawn carriage. The singer and actress had left all the details. Her Manila shawls, her feathers and the flamenco funeral procession.
The buggy has pulled along Avenida de la Constitución on its way to the parish of Triana de Santa Ana. A farewell planned to the millimeter that concludes in the cemetery, where he will receive a Christian burial in his family pantheon, in the strictest privacy.
