But think about this mysterious cave, more mysterious are the legends that haunt so enigmatic place. And here I tell you one:
"Before there Mondoñedo, nearby there was an area that was known as Bria, a beautiful castle and ruled the King Cintolo , possessor of great riches. This king had a beautiful daughter named Manfo , with which all the princes and great Gentlemen, wanted to marry. One day, arrived at the scene a young Count, Count Hollvrudet , to which all praise and with his kindness, charmed the king and his beautiful daughter.
But a few days, reached a new courtship, whose leader was a cruel man, he had a message for the king, in which he demanded the hand of his daughter to the King Tuba Oretón . This man wanted to be treated immediately, otherwise, would lead the castle and the princess.
face of this threat, the Earl of Hollvrudet, Tuba King challenged to a fight. But knowing the King Tuba the force was the young count, I knew I was in inferior conditions. So, as the King Tuba was a witch, met with his advisers also were, and together they prepared a grand ritual to avenge Cintolo.
A few minutes later a loud bang caused by a loud thunder, the city collapsed, burying all its inhabitants. Hollvrudet Count, who was watching the weapons, was unhurt and went in search of King Tuba, which went through with his sword.
Count trying to return to the castle, found that in its place was a huge hole, which came in search of his beloved. But both she and the castle and how Bria inhabitants had disappeared, and there was heard nothing of his whereabouts. "
Since then, people say that the cave is still the princess, which can not escape being guarded by a witch King Tuba, and that only leaves out a few minutes every night at 12. Minutes, which she uses to find his beloved by the surroundings. It is also said that if one happens to those hours for this mysterious place You can see it, but be careful not to be seen by the witch, as if this is another person hanging around there, capture, and made prisoner in the cave.
