Due to the good reception that has had the reference book in the city of Murcia next September 14 (Thursday) will be presented at the Provincial Archaeological Museum at 19.00.
To date more than a thousand copies have been sold by the archaeologist Santi García, co-author of the successful book.
It will be presented by the young and prestigious Murcia journalist Mª Carmen Pérez Guitérrez, who coordinates her collaborations in local press with the elaboration of contents for Gaceta Radio TV and Cartagena Plus, among others.
In the book are mixed history, archeology and mystery where the city of Murcia is very present in the last chapter of the book, which study the classic iconography that we can appreciate any day walking its streets.
In the same way the region appears throughout the book in the stories that are treated and that we can identify in each one of them.
"Enigmas and mysteries of hidden Spain is the title of the new publication that has just released the Almuzara publishing house, a work by Eppo Cardelo and Santiago García, in which History, Archeology and Mystery go hand in hand to unveil hidden events under the weight of tradition.
Thus, the book begins revealing the true origin of Halloween.
A festival that, according to the authors, "is much closer to Spain than we can imagine."
It is a tradition that comes from customs rooted in Celtic tribes and Roman rites, which came from the north of Europe and spread through our Iberian Peninsula.
According to Eppo Cardelo and Santiago García, the holiday known as Halloween was celebrated in Hispania in the sixth century BC, long before it became popular worldwide with great success.
The werewolf will be another chapter of the book in which the authors claim that it existed in Galicia, specifically, in the area of ​​Los Ancares.
The case of Manuel Blanco Romasanta went around the world.
It was a person with a very serious psychological disorder, who claimed, in the trial that condemned him for killing fourteen women, that he became a werewolf.
"I killed out of necessity, because I needed to eat," says the lycanthrope.
As Spanish as the werewolf and the Halloween party is what we know today by La Mafia.
In Spain its precedent is La Garduña.
A secret society that was born in Toledo in 1412 that operated outside the law and whose rules have important similarities with the Sicilian Mafia and the Neapolitan Camorra.
In fact, according to the authors, there is a legend that says that La Mafia was created by three Spanish gentlemen who came from La Garduña.
These and other stories we find in this volume that reveals and dismantles with facts, legends and mysteries apparently attributed to other cultures and thanks to these authors we can know in some cases the hidden origin of some traditions, which have their origin closer than we believe, as the mystery of The Holy Companion, a phenomenon of the Spanish northwest that gave much to speak in its time.
