At the edge of shady cliffs, down whose steep slopes sinuous waterfalls descend, growing or languishing according to the whim of the rains and the seasons, there still exist small corners that, in that distant time when Myth and Poetry formed a well-matched marriage, were the inspiration for a multitude of legends.

There, where the gorse becomes the undisputed queen of the forest and where the moss eternalizes its occupation of the rock, vindicating its rights of ownership, the old people of the place affirm that in ancient times the huntress Dianas bathed there, fantastic beings who, in addition to protecting the place, rewarded good will and punished the insolence of the curious and the hunter.

There must be some truth in this, since, in addition, partially hidden by those inflexible jailers that are the brambles and nettles, there are slight traces of what was once a small convent, destined, as was the custom, to exorcise the spells of the place or, what is the same, to be located in those places where there were old cults.

A la vera de riscos sombríos, por cuyas escarpadas laderas descienden sinuosas cascadas que medran o languidecen según el capricho de las lluvias y las temporadas, existen, todavía, pequeños rincones, que, en ese lejano tiempo en el que el Mito y la Poesía formaban un matrimonio bien avenido, fueron la inspiración de multitud de leyendas.

Allí, donde la aliaga se torna reina indiscutible de la foresta y donde el musgo eterniza su ocupación de la roca vindicando sus derechos de propiedad, afirman, los viejos del lugar, que antiguamente se bañaban las Dianas cazadoras, seres fantásticos, que, además de proteger el lugar, premiaban las buenas voluntades y castigaban la insolencia del curioso y del cazador.

Algo de verdad debe de haber en ello, puesto, que, además, parcialmente oculto por esos inflexibles carceleros que son las zarzas y las ortigas, quedan leves rastros de o que antaño fuera un pequeño convento, destinado, como solía ser costumbre, a exorcizar los embrujos del lugar o, lo que es lo mismo, a situarse en aquellos lugares donde hubo viejos cultos.
