The legend of the seven maidens

Curiosity · Simancas, Campiña del Pisuerga, Valladolid

Tradition tells that seven girls of the place cut off a hand so as not to be handed over as tribute, and that that defiance precipitated the confrontation with the caliph. On 6 August the villa recalls it in its patronal feast.
