Their daughter, Ruth O'Loughlin, confirmed to the BBC that her parents' bodies had been found in their car on Saturday, after days of being missing due to floods.
Ruth O'Loughlin recalled how she learned of her parents' death, asserting: "We still don't know exactly what happened to them. The only thing we've got from this is that they were together."
Spain's prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, labeled the floods as the worst natural disaster in the country's recent history, prompting a massive deployment of resources for recovery efforts.
The flooding has resulted in at least 210 fatalities across the region, with ongoing fears that the death toll could increase as rescue operations continue.
