In Seville in the fifteenth century a black legend began to furular around what we know today as Sierpes Street. Disappearances, fantastic creatures and magical flutists that gave rise to a story that we remember until today.
It seems that at that time in Seville the children who walked through Sierpes Street began to disappear. This situation came to concern its inhabitants so much that the city's same governor, Mr. Alfonso de Cárdenas, had to take care of the situation. This received an anonymous letter in which the issuer claimed to know the evil that was causing the disappearances.
The author of the letter turned out to be Melchor de Quintana and Argüeso, a student of letters who had rebelled against the king and for that reason he had been persecuted. And not to be imprisoned, he hid in the underground galleries of the city. Melchor went to Don Alfonso de Cárdenas in the hope that he would be free from his penance and release him.
Once Don Alfonso had promised to leave him free publicly, Melchor, who had lived a long time under the city, led him to the secret he hid behind the disappearances. It turned out to be a snake the size of a basilisk that lived in the street subsoil. This basilisk was eating the children who passed by because they were the perfect size for the large mouth of the snake.
Don Alfonso commissioned his slaughter, and his body was exposed in the street, which at that time was called spinning, so that the inhabitants of the city could contemplate the “Sierpe”. And so it was, nobody could forget the event and began to call that street the street of La Sierpes, or as we know it today Sierpes.
