Hola, welcome to another episode of Legends of Spain. Iām profesora Daniela, and today, Iāll take you on a journey to the beautiful town of Teruel, where one of the most famous and tragic love stories unfoldedāLos Amantes de Teruel, or "The Lovers of Teruel."
This is a story of two young people, Isabel and Juan, whose love for each other was undeniable, but they were separated by class, wealth, and family expectations. As you listen, youāll hear about their struggles, their hopes, and ultimately, their heartbreaking fate.
The word amantes means "lovers" in Spanish, and it's a key part of this story. In fact, you'll notice that this word comes up a lot in classic tales of love and loss. Another phrase youāll hear me mention is corazĆ³n roto, which translates to "broken heart," and by the end of the story, youāll understand why that phrase is so central to what happens.
Juan and Isabel grew up together, and their friendship blossomed into deep love. But as often happens in legends, life had other plans. Isabelās father, wanting a noble match for his daughter, demanded that Juan prove himself by returning after five years with great wealth. And of course, Juan, decididoāwhich means "determined"āset out to make his fortune. But when he returned, it was too late, and the outcome of their love is something that has echoed through the centuries.
I wonāt give away all the details here because I want you to dive into the story and experience it for yourself. As you listen, take note of the Spanish phrases I use. Por ejemplo, "desgarrada" means "torn," which is exactly how Isabel feels when sheās forced to choose between her familyās expectations and her love for Juan.
If you love learning about the rich history and culture of Spain, I encourage you to subscribe to this podcast so you never miss an episode. And for more legends, vocabulary lessons, and even interactive discussions with me, visit SpanishMinds.com. There, youāll find a treasure trove of resources to help you deepen your understanding of the language and the stories that define it.

Hello, everyone! Iām Profesora Daniela, and welcome back to Legends of Spain, a podcast brought to you by SpanishMinds.com. Today, we are delving into a truly eerie legend from the misty forests of Galicia ā the tale of La Santa CompaƱa. This legend has been passed down for generations, warning the people about a ghostly procession that roams the countryside on moonless nights.
As youāll soon hear, La Santa CompaƱa is no ordinary legend. Itās about restless spirits, led by an unfortunate soul cursed to guide them through the night, often without even knowing it. In this episode, weāll follow the journey of a brave young man, TomĆ”s, who discovers that some warnings are better left untested.
As we explore this chilling story, Iāll share a few Spanish words and phrases with you, to help you immerse yourself in the language and the legend.
For example, in the story, youāll hear the phrase "la niebla es espesa," which means "the fog is thick." Here, niebla means fog, and espesa translates to thick or dense. Youāll also hear about la procesiĆ³nāthatās the word for procession, referring to the eerie parade of spirits.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Legends of Spain, where we explore the enchanting tales and folklore of this beautiful country. Iām your host, Profesora Daniela, and today weāre diving into a magical story that takes place in a small Spanish villageāa story about an extraordinary tree known as "El Olivo Encantado," or "The Enchanted Olive Tree."
Long ago, in a village facing terrible drought, this mystical tree became the hope and savior of the people. Legend has it that its branches whispered secrets, its leaves shimmered under the moonlight, and it had the power to grant wishes. A young couple, Elena and Miguel, deeply in love, sought the treeās help to save their village, and what followed was nothing short of a miracle.
Itās a story about love, hope, and the magic that can be found even in the simplest things around us. "El Olivo Encantado" reminds us that sometimes, when faced with lifeās greatest challenges, we must turn to what we hold sacred, whether itās love, nature, or the traditions that bind us together.
Youāll hear me say the word "milagro," which means miracle, and "sequĆa," which means drought. These words will come up throughout the story as we uncover how the enchanted olive tree brought rain to a thirsty land and hope to a desperate people.
