More than 5,000 protesters gathered in Malaga's Plaza de la Constitución on 19 May to demand that authorities open new lines of investigation into the death of Lucía Vivar.
The three-year-old disappeared in Pizarra on 27 July 2017, and was found dead, more than four kilometres away, next to the tracks of the C2 Cercanías line between Malaga and Álora. Lucía's parents, Almudena Hidalgo and Antonio Vivar, maintain that the child could not have walked that far alone and unseen.
The protest takes place after the Malaga courts have announced the possibility of the case being provisionally shelved after a lack of potential lines of inquiry.
Almudena and Antonio insist that the authorities open their eyes and explore the case further, calling the original investigation a botched job.
