El mito del oro de Cúllar

Curiosity · Cúllar, Comarca de Baza, Granada

For generations, geography textbooks cited Cúllar alongside California and Australia as a gold-producing area, even though the townspeople never knew of any such deposits; linguist Gregorio Salvador Caja traced the origin of the mix-up to the catalogue of an exhibition held in London in 1851.
