An evening walk, guided in Spanish, about the stories Palma tells after dark.

Near the Diocesan Museum and the convent of Santa Clara you hear the local legend of a woman said to have come back to life, then continue through the surrounding lanes to the cathedral, where, as the story goes, even dragons have been seen.
