Joaquim Torrent Tura, a resident of Sant Climent de Sescebes, was a well-known figure in the region, not only for his political work as former mayor but also for his involvement as a historic fan club member (penyista) of FC Barcelona in the area. The farewell ceremony will be held today, Thursday, at 12 noon, at the Funerària Vicens parish in Figueres.
In addition to the former mayor's passing, the day of December 18 also recorded the loss of two other residents of the Alt Empordà. In Castelló d’Empúries, Josefina de Batlle Tuebols died at the age of 82. She was married to Esteve Hugas Maurici.
The loss of figures like former mayor Torrent Tura underscores the legacy of public service and the strong social connection that local leaders maintain with their communities.
The funeral service for Josefina de Batlle will take place today, Thursday, at 11 am, at the Basílica de Santa Maria de Castelló d’Empúries. Finally, in Vilabertran, Salvador Riu Pujolar died at the age of 91. His funeral will be held tomorrow, Friday, at 10:30 am, at the Santa Maria de Vilabertran parish.
