The girl fell in the cave of Agaramunda

In a house in the neighborhood of Aia, a young girl from San Gregorio worked as a maid. Every feast day she went down to her parents’ house and then, at sunset on Sunday, she returned to Aia, but she never felt like returning. She preferred to be at home than to work as a maid. Her mother often gave out to her for it.

On one occasion, one of those Sunday evenings, the mother cursed at her and screamed at her to go to Aia as she was late, as always. And the girl left for Aia weeping, and went up through Agaramunda. When she arrived at the cave of Agaramunda she climbed the hazelnut tree located above the entrance of the cave as she wanted to collect the hazelnuts.

But unfortunately the branch broke and the girl fell inside the cave. Neighbours and family spent days looking for her but found no trace of her. Later a girl’s finger was found, with her ring, under the bridge of Arbeldi, and according to other sources it was in the kitchen of Andraleize.
