It existed in Cantabria a beautiful girl who, against the advice of her mother, used to gather shellfish in the most dangerous cliffs of Castro Urdiales while singing with the rolling waves of the sea. Her mother tired of their disobedience and concerned about their welfare came to curse like this: So the God of Heaven allows you to become a fish !. It seems that her prayer was heard and this girl was transformed into a woman with long shiny fishtail, which was called The Little Mermaid of Castro.
