Outside visit

Monaterio de la EncarnaciónInside this convent they keep a vial of San Pantaleón's blood. Once a year, on July 27th, the blood liquifies. When it doesn't, something terrible happens in Spain. It didn't liquify before the Civil War. It didn't liquify before the assassination of Carrero Blanco. What will happen this year?

Outside visit

Teatro RealOn nights when the Teatro Real closes its doors, some employees swear they have seen a white figure moving behind the scenes. They call her the White Lady. No one knows who she was. No one who sees her face to face stays around to tell the story.
