La Santa Compaña

Hello, everyone! I’m 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 — the tale of La Santa Compaña. This legend has been passed down for generations, warning the people about a ghostly procession that roams the countryside on moonless nights.

As you’ll soon hear, La Santa Compaña is no ordinary legend. It’s about restless spirits, led by an unfortunate soul cursed to guide them through the night, often without even knowing it. In this episode, we’ll follow the journey of a brave young man, Tomás, who discovers that some warnings are better left untested.

As we explore this chilling story, I’ll 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, you’ll hear the phrase "la niebla es espesa," which means "the fog is thick." Here, niebla means fog, and espesa translates to thick or dense. You’ll also hear about la procesión—that’s the word for procession, referring to the eerie parade of spirits.
