magical place : In the 1930s, stories and rumors circulated on the island of El Hierro. One of the most famous was made famous by the shepherds of the Llanía area. They confirmed that at night, as they guarded the livestock and prepared to return to their homes, the environment changed, becoming cold and unsafe. On their way home through a certain area, they claimed to have heard laughter and seen silhouettes of women dancing around a campfire
