Description
When night falls over Ourense, its streets and squares seem to awaken ancient stories of witches, wandering souls, miracles, and legends that have survived the passage of centuries.
Witches
"They exist, they do," they say about them. Among the narrow streets of the historic center, we will delve into the world of Galician superstitions to discover what differentiates witches from sorceresses, what amulets and rituals were used to protect against them, and what role the feared Inquisition played.
Souls
It is said that some souls are condemned to wander eternally, without finding rest. Among stone crosses and ancient corners, we will uncover the mysteries of the Santa Compaña, the meaning of the soul pockets, and the beliefs that for centuries have linked the world of the living with that of the dead.
Legends
Did a Greek captain found Ourense? Is there a volcano hidden beneath the city? Could Galicia have had an English king? Following the traces of saints, bishops, and nobles, we will discover the legendary origin of As Burgas, tales of miracles, and secrets that still seem to be hidden within the walls of its churches and ancient manors.
A journey through history, superstition, and legend to discover the most magical and mysterious Ourense, the one that does not always appear in books.
