Mother and Newborn Safe After Street Birth in Mijas During Storm Marta

Bystanders plus two Guardia Civil officers sheltered the couple during an eight‑minute delivery.

Overview

  • The baby, named Ciro Fabián, was born in the street in Mijas on February 7 after the mother's waters broke at 12:37 and the birth occurred at 12:45.
  • Heavy rain from storm Marta drenched the scene as neighbors and staff from the nearby El Tejo restaurant provided umbrellas, a parasol, and blankets.
  • Two Guardia Civil officers helped shield the parents, and the father, Andrew Fabián, supported the baby throughout the rapid delivery.
  • Hospital checks later found both mother and newborn healthy, with the baby weighing 3,940 grams and measuring 53 centimeters before returning home.
  • The mother, Sasharel, 28, is from Uruguay and moved to Mijas two and a half years ago; this is the couple’s first child together, while her three older daughters remain in Uruguay.
