Roncesvalles - Garín

Script: Antonio Hernández Palacios

Art: Antonio Hernández Palacios

​​

In Roncesvalles, we are transported to the High Middle Ages to witness—up close—the legendary defeat of the Frankish king Charlemagne’s army in the year 778 AD, brought to life as a stunning historical fresco.

​

   The second story, Garín, takes us into an imaginary medieval world populated by dragons, fairies, and tyrants ruling over distant kingdoms—kingdoms that the hero, a forerunner of the better-known Drako of Gades, sets out to free.
