Don Pelayo

An epic tale about the legend of the historical figure Don Pelayo. Set to a rock rhythm, it tells and illustrates how Asturian rebels led by Don Pelayo faced an army in the mountains of Covadonga (722 AD). In the moments before the battle, Don Pelayo recalls how, in his youth, a hermit pleaded for the life of a thief who was about to be executed for stealing. Thanks to Don Pelayo's forgiveness and for keeping the cave of Covadonga pure, the hermit prophesied that, in the future, this place would be his refuge and the Virgin of Covadonga his protector.
