 In Barcelona the man of the ears  is also a tradition on December 30, and it also has as many ears as the days of the year.

The legend tells us that the Apostle Santiago mounted on his horse and jumped from the top of one of the cliffs of the canyon that surround the hermitage. The hooves left their footprints on the stone, near the road used today and the back fell to the ground and marked on the exact place where the hermitage of Saint Bartolome is

The origin of this castle is not well known but it was built by Juan ll de Castilla in 11th c. Throughout its history it has had different owners. The first ones were the catholic monarchs, later Alfonso de Valencia and Bracamonte and finally Don Alonso de Fonseca.

At present the castle is a hotel, tourists and workers complain because the hotel is enchanted and at night you hear noises on the walls and at night a ghost; the White Lady appears. The story tells that in this castle it took place the forbidden love between Alonso de Fonseca and Maria de Ulloa. Perhaps that is why the specter of the White Lady tries to revive the glorious moments of their love

Diana soon became aware of his intentions so she rejected him again and again. The young man didn’t give up but she didn’t change her mind.

One morning, before All Saints Day, he got a letter from Diana asking him to meet in the “Angustias” hermitage.

Our handsome man was really excited, so though it started raining, he went to the hermitage.

When he arrived, Diana was beautifully dressed and he started kissing her.

It was a dark, thunderous night in Cuenca. A lightning struck and Diana's feet turned into hooves. The boy looked at her and she had become a Devil.

He ran away until he reached the cross that was at the door of the hermitage. He hugged the cross, hoping that God would save him from that beast. the Devil chased him, slapped him on the shoulder and captured him.

When the young man opened his eyes, the Devil was no longer there, but the claw was engraved on the stone cross of the hermitage. Actually it can be seen when you visit this Cuenca Hermitage.

His daughter was in charge of protecting it. Sometimes you can hear her washing clothes or crying.

To keep the dragon calm the people decided to offer  it one person every day. 

One day it was the princess turn. the king didn't want to let her go but he accepted.

The princess left the castle. She was walking towards the dragon when a knight appeared on a white horse. The princess told him to leave so that nothing happened to him and he refused and he said that he was going to save her.

His name was George and he faced the dragon. They fought. Finally he hurt the dragon with his sword and died. 

From the dragon's blood a rose appeared. George gave it to the princess after winning the battle. And from this legend

the tradition of giving roses to the lovers on April 23rd was born.

Since then they say that every year on Saint John’s night the princess goes down to the river where she sits to comb her hair, waiting for a knight to free her from the enchantment.

The legend is located in Montserrat mountain and says  that there were giant thieves who robbed the surrounding neighbors and spoiled the wheat crops, and with the straw they built great barns.

One day his neighbors declared them the war, but they could not fight against their great size.

But one day, by magic, the haystacks became stone and the giants stayed inside the small wells that appeared where the haystacks were.

The punishment was an example for all.

On St. John's Eve in 1674, Francis went swimming with some friends to the Miera. He undressed, went into the water and went swimming down the river, until she was out of sight. He was a good swimmer and they did not worry. After a few hours they thought he was drowned.

When he was on deck they saw that the strange man was young, strong, pale and red-haired, there was just a peculiarity; a line of scales from his throat to his stomach and another one on his back and his nails were corroded because of salt.

Fishermen took him Saint Francis monastery and they made him questions.  After some days he said Lierganes.

The fact spred in Cadiz and nobody found an explanation. A guy said that in Cantabria there was a town with that name. The news were known in Lierganes and it was found out that Francisco de la Vega had disappeared five years before. Then Juan Rosendo travelled with francisco to Lierganes. Maria Casar and his brothers identified Francisco

One of them is the following one:

A girl from one of the poorest families disappeared one day without leaving track. They looked for her. One day the girl appeared at the door of her house taking with her a handful of jewels and gold.

The young woman told them where that came from. One day she was walking near the Enchanted and  an eagle seized her strongly and took her inside the tower. the eagle turned into a smart boy and asked her to help him undo his charm and that of her fiancé. she agreed to undo the charm but she had to remain in the tower until a dove laid in her hands.

The girl decided to help breaking the spell and the boy promised that she would not have to worry while he was there.

Little elves worked hard in the tower to have everything neat and tidy. Six of them prepared food and others made clothes and shoes. In addition, each day, a jewel or gold coins were found on her pillow.

Long after, one morning, the girl saw a dove flying through her window followed by the eagle. The dove came to her and settled on her hands. At that moment the eagle became human and the dove turned into a beautiful young blonde girl.

Crazy with joy at having discarded the spell, they gave more jewels and gifts to the girl ,thanked her many times for her patience and left, leaving the young woman free to return with her family.
