A maxia da auga

Almost all Galician ancestral legends have something in common; they are, in one way or another, related to water. Galicia is a land of waters. And there are sources like the Lighthouse that can be beneficial, but there are also bad sources. If not tell a pilgrim who was going to Compostela and, instead of continuing to climb, returned to Penasillás. What is the reason why in Galicia we hide ghosts while in Scotland they are a tourist attraction? Don't we want people to know what is going on in our homes, as is the case with the Mayor in Mouricios? Who was not afraid? But do fears exist? And what do bats, crows or wolves or the white horse, which already appeared in Celtic tales, paint in today's fears? Let's take a walk around the church of Pesqueiras. And the wells of the rivers inhabited by the xacias, the sorrows of the Moors, the treasures ... do they exist or do they not exist? And the bottomless pits? There is nothing better than taking a walk around the Miño to find out. This is not a book that recreates traditional legends. Nor are they accounts in which those legends are collected. Others have already done that job very well. This is a book that revives and updates the main Galician myths and gives them a new vision. Narratives turned into fireplace tales, which bring them to the present, with humor and without mental vests, to also portray today's society in the light of past beliefs. There is a lot of legend in this book, but there is still a lot more to it. Look for yours to see if it fits you.
