In “El defensor de Granada” a journalist wrote that the plot revolved around spurned lovers, Moorish jealousy that ends in irreparable misfortune, bitter disappointment that is summed up by the well-known song “Si ya no tiene remedio lo que a ti te ha sucedido”.” If what happened to you can’t no longer be put right”.
