Around San Ginés, uncover the legend of a headless ghost and a medieval robbery with tragic consequences. Hear the tale of a king who supposedly had the Royal Palace’s architect blinded so he could never build a finer palace, and discover the story of a priest wrongly executed for murder who, according to legend, returned from the dead.
