In 1702, a battle took place in the heart of the Vigo estuary, which now houses the bridge of Rande, between Anglo-Dutch and Spanish-French coalitions. It is said that treasure loaded ships came from America bound for Seville, and, knowing that they would suffer an ambush, hid deep into the Vigo estuary. The English ships found them and after a bloody battle, the English won, plunging the entire Spanish fleet, and thus the treasure. Since then, and for two whole centuries, many expeditions, tried to recover the treasure, but without result. And a legend has been built around it, passed from parent to child and from child to child, who's also seasoned with rumors of sightings of ghost ships, lights and a distant echo in the wind brought from old times.
