Devils, dragons and a golden goat – Catalan myths and legends

Filling the Sink - A podcast by catalannews - Saturdays

Categories:

Catalonia has a rich tradition of folk tales, full of strange characters and mysterious creatures. Cillian Shields and Alan Ruiz Terol join Lorcan Doherty to ask where these stories come from, what they tell us about the past, and what relevance they have in today's world. There's drama, as we re-enact how the Devil's Bridge in Martorell got its name, and music, as Alan serenades us with a tale of two giants, El Gegant del Pi. Plus, Víctor Borràs from the Catalan Legends Festival on the magic of mythology.
