BOOK CLUBS: The ghost of Coruña

Have you ever heard of the ghost in Coruña? Every 16th of January, the silhouette of a woman appears in one of the corners of the Gardens of St, Carlos to visit the tomb of sir John Moore. She wears a white dress with a big hat covering her face. She slowly moves towards the tomb, leaves a red rose in front of it and vanishes. Well, this was the challenge of our latest session of BookLand and Bookworms. The mysterious girl is lady Hester Stanhope, the true love of the British general. She came every year to pay him a tribute while she was still alive, and she continues coming as a spirit nowadays. Do you dare to go to the Gardens and see if she really appears? Save the date!

This fascinating story goes well with our current readings: "Max and Maggie visit the haunted castle" and "Halloween horror".  And we got our 2nd gold coin! Now take a look at  the photos of this exciting afternnon and at our research about this amazing woman and her favourite place in our town: the castle of St. Antón, an astonishing place full of treasures!.
