Traveller, discover yourself, for you are entering the world of Campos Godos, where history and legends are hidden in the holes of broken pieces of rock, in the corners of old squares, in the passageways of old fortresses or in the dark chapels of monumental churches. They were even written in blood on the battlefields; fields that kings, princes and ambassadors travelled.
To liven up your imagination, you should know that important and historical Visigothic figures were born and died in these lands; famous and legendary riders such as Count Fernán González, Count Ansúrez and even Cid Campeador himself galloped across these lands; new lands in the recently-discovered New World were handed out here; Catholic Kings came to these lands in both war and peace; and in these lands the insane deliriums of Doña Juana were heard; their roads have seen the royal processions of Carlos I and Felipe II pass, just as they did much earlier with those of Alfonso XI and Pedro I; and on these fields the heroic Royalists fought and died and here, on this ground, their bodies, blood, and memory were gathered. Traveller, may your curiosity and respect not underestimate such important events. Stories that are worth reliving, tracing their footprints and bringing ourselves closer to their echoes.
