Superstitions, legends and myths are an undeniable part of our common culture and are usually found rooted in rural areas where people live in deep connection with the natural world.
In the northernmost municipality of Portugal, between Minho and the mountains, there is an area where history and legends merge. Melgaço is a space with a strong cultural identity, recognized for its folklore, where there are two elements that are almost always related, water and the feminine.
From voice to voice these narratives span centuries, men die but they remain.
