Author Description

In every corner of Aragon beats an echo of its stories, narrated by time and preserved in memory. Aragón opens a window to the magic, the mysterious and the heroic of this land, where the wind that lashes Zaragoza is not the only witness of ancient secrets. From the mermaid of the Ebro that protects its waters to the tragic romance of the Lovers of Teruel, César Alcalá guides us on a journey through castles, villages and legends that sometimes defy reason. Who was the enigmatic Goblin of Zaragoza who outwitted the police in the 1930s? What truths does the legend of the Virgin of Pilar hold? Through pages that evoke both the sacred and the profane, this book celebrates the roots of Aragon, rescuing those stories that once whispered to our ancestors. With each story, Alcalá reminds us of the essence of a region that looks to its past with pride, and invites us to relive these legends so that they will never be lost.
