This is part 1 of the Leyenda Series Mexico is a country known worldwide for its deep-rooted cultural traditions, and legends, which balance between reality and fiction.The legends of the colonial era are stories that have an important cultural message since they are enriched by components of the folklore of the Spanish colonies in America.  Generations of Mexican children have grown up afraid of La Llorona—a wailing woman whose misdeeds in life have left her spirit trapped on Earth, where she torments men, women, and little children alike. She’s the stuff of legend—a myth and spooky bedtime story whose origins date back hundreds of years to the pre-Hispanic peoples.Here are the other parts of the Leyenda Series: E09: Leyendas I: La LloronaE17: Leyendas II: La LechuzaE25: Leyendas III: El Monstruo de XochimilcoE29: Leyendas IV: El Palacio de LecumberriE38 Leyendas V: Una Trágica Historia de AmorSend me a text but know that I can’t respond here Support the showYou will find the full transcript behind the show notes: https://interspanish.buzzsprout.comIf you have a story or topic you would like me to cover, please send your suggestions to: [email protected] Please visit my socials: https://linktr.ee/InterSpanish
