RE: [ENG-SPN] Where the Nymphs Fled / Donde Huyeron las Ninfas
It is fascinating how ancient pagan sites so often got repurposed into monasteries to stamp out the old folklore. Those medieval water nymph tales add such a rich layer of mystery to the Fuentetoba landscape.

It is not that they were repurposed; rather, churches, hermitages, and monasteries were built within or in the immediate vicinity of these sites in order to eradicate ancient cults—cults that were generally associated with natural locations.
