Last summer I spent some days in a beautiful little village between the mountains in Catalonia. One of the days I spent there I decided to go for a walk on my own while the sun fell and the darkness, the stars and the moon appeared little by little in the sky. A strange atmosphere was getting created and I felt as if I was in a tale. Stone houses, torches lightened, stars, lights appearing and disappearing between the mountains. Was there when I remembered the tales my grandmother told. Witchy tales that fascinated me and how she, however, declared herself a witch. And I believed her, because of her ability to make the pain disappear with a glass of water. That night I decided to go beyond all those stories and investigate them, the real witches, the ones that were free and get burned for it. The following stories are fiction. But, they have some true stories behind and historical background. Those stories have an objective to demystify Catalan witches and make honour to all the women that died in the fire.
