For a young newly married Spanish couple from Galicia it sounded like a honeymoon to remember. A week in Cancún. Check out the sights, hang out on the Mayan Riviera. Fly back to Spain and begin life as a married couple. Easy. The problems began when they were departing from Cancún. She was detained. A problem with her bags. A serious problem. She was taken to jail. She fell sick and was taken to the infirmary. She began to get news about what happened. She was being held on explosives charges. Bullets, explosives, and a detonator cap were found in her checked luggage. Military grade. After more than a week in incarceration she was allowed to return to Spain.
How did the weapons end up in her bag? Some possibilities:
1. She's a pija and she's heard that the pijos have coopted the revolution. La revolución mola. Of course, once the pijos have appropriated the revolution, what's left for the hipsters?
2. She's got friends in the falange, and the falange are having a demonstration in Madrid on the 28th of October. En defensa de España, the flyers glued on the walls proclaim. These "extra" items are to help out the fascist cause.
3. Now when she warns her husband, Ahora te vas a enterar, she's got something to back her up.
4. Detonator caps and bullets are a steal in Mexico!
5.The couple are shopping for souvenirs. In the mercado someone offers them a Mayan reproduction. Maybe Chac-Mool, the Mayan intermediary between the god of rain, Chac, and man. Maybe he offers up a special. Buy this souvenir, and get a free gift.
Whatever the reason, upon her return to the airport in Santiago de Compostela the couple was met with great acclaim by neighbors, family, and friends.
The bride told the press that she would return to Mexico, but she wasn't going to check her luggage.
