Mind you, it does not seem strange to play like other kids your age. "I am very comfortable all alone, without anyone touching my balls"he replied with total sincerity. Before wondering who his best friend was then, Adrián did not doubt the answer: "The dog".

In this Asturian city, no child has been born since 2005, since the birth of Adrián. It has a population of 68 people occupying 57 houses. The only baby is Adrián.

Yernes and Tameza is a cattle ranch. There is only one bar, where there used to be a school now serving neighbors a meeting place for coffee.

In the 70s, the school closed, but a decade later, there were still children playing in its streets. A past very far from the reality of Adrián and his neighbors and reflects the problem that increasingly badumes the aging of the population of this region of Spain.

The dream of this baby, whose honesty and self-confidence have made him a viral phenomenon, is "to be a mechanic". But yes, always in your city "because there is tranquility".
