Amado

The crash happened just after 6 p.m. along the Festival of Lights Parade route at Palm Canyon Drive and Amado Road, officials said.

These bags amounted to days’ worth of work, the man, who gave his name as Amado, told me.

Medellin lead prosecutor Yiri Milena Amado Sanchez said most of the recent killings followed similar scripts: A tourist contacts a local woman through social media or a dating app.

A frequent visitor to public libraries, I discovered the books of Jorge Amado.

I already knew something of Amado, not from reading him but because he was an omnipresent figure in the cultural life of Salvador.
