In 1672 Francico de la Vega Casar was sent by his family to study to Las Arenas, where he was often seen swimming in the river for hours. One day, Francisco was dragged by the water, his body was never found. Five years later, some fishermen from Cadiz bay captured a strange man. He was a strong man, about six feet tall, he was pale and had red hair. A line of scales very similar to those from fish ran down his back and he had a brown membrane between his fingers. The only word the fishman spoke was "Liérganes!"
