In 1931, the Madrid weekly Estampa sent journalist Vicente Sánchez Ocaña to Tetouan with an extraordinary assignment: find the living descendant of Boabdil, the last king of Granada. He found Ahmed ben el-Arbi ben el-Ahmar — a former bakery worker turned shopkeeper. Asked whether the blood of Granada's kings ran in his veins, the man just shrugged: "that is what they say."

This episode reconstructs that forgotten interview and follows the trail it left behind: the fall of Granada in 1492, four centuries of exile in Fez, a tomb no one can find, and a DNA project that stalled before it began. The verdict? The claim can't be proven — but it was never debunked either.

The original 1931 article was never digitized, so no copy of the interview exists online. But in 2018 a Spanish reporter retraced the story and found the Ahmar family still working in Tetouan's medina — read his account here: En busca de los reyes olvidados
