Did you know that a porcelain doll could mark the tragic destiny of an entire family? Or that a demon with breasts parades at Easter but is forbidden to enter the church? And that a stolen miraculous cross ended up taking revenge on its thief? Get ready for an amazing journey through an unusual Spain, where the strange, the magical and the absurd are mixed in a parade of objects that defy all logic. Jesús Callejo and Marcos Carrasco open the doors to a unique cabinet of curiosities, where each piece holds a story or legend that will make you smile, amaze or even doubt reality. Here you will discover crosses that shine brighter than your future, toys worthy of your worst nightmares and bells that look like something out of an adventure movie. Also boulders with more anecdotes than your grandfather, gargoyles with the soul of a spy and relics capable of granting the most unsuspected wishes.
