The mysterious pilgrim in Plaza de la Quintana
Don’t read this unless you are very brave: there is a ghost in Plaza de la Quintana. It’s true, you yourself will be able to see it every night. Silently creep up to the foot of the Clock Tower, and look to the right of the Royal Portico…
Can you see it' It has a hat, staff and cape, like medieval pilgrims. It is the shadow of an ancient traveller trapped in the mist of time… Okay, it is actually the shadow of the column supporting the Cathedral’s lightning rod, but I bet you liked it.
