A young man vanished near the Camilo José Cela observation post in Cuenca in the early hours of September 14 into 15. After days of searching, his body was found at the Ronda del Júcar viewpoint in Cuenca.
The deceased was Enrique Lopez, a single individual and the son of a former councilor from Hellín City Council in Albacete. He had appeared as a participant on the television dating show First Dates in November 2021, alongside Rosa Pilar Sáez.
This was her experience on First Dates
Kike, as he was known, was a drama student who described himself as a romantic at heart. He explained in his introduction that he felt a strong attraction to love at first sight, whether on the subway or at a party. He joked that when he met someone, he would fall in love quickly, sometimes to the point of infatuation.
During the show, he told the host that he hoped to meet a date who could be described as a hipster, an artist, a free spirit, or a nonconformist. He even quipped that he did not want an ordinary match but rather someone with a different vibe, asking for a lighter in a playful way before meeting his potential date.
Regarding the former People’s Party councillor, Enrique mentioned that his mother would be strict about his choices. The dating program introduced him to a chemistry student named Javier. The two hit it off, sharing a variety of interests and hobbies that created an easy rapport from the start.
In the end, Kike and Javier agreed to a second meeting. Kike said he wanted to learn more about Javier and whether they could envision a future together, joking about the idea of building a life together. Javier admitted that he was drawn to Kike’s personality and the shared tastes that emerged during their time on the show.
