Eternal Kiss

It is said that one night, a host of Moors surrounded the fortress of Sortelha, to take back that strategic site. In the castle were the mayor, his wife and their daughter, a beautiful maiden.
- "What a beautiful man!" she exclaimed, following him with her eyes
- "What a beautiful woman!" thought the Moor from the top of the walls.
From that moment, neither one nor the other could stop thinking about meeting.
Therefore, the Moorish leader promised freedom to a Christian prisoner, with the conditions he imposed:
- "I will speak alone with the maiden and you will open the door for her."
The girl's mother, who was said to be a witch, realised that something was afoot that night.
The lovers were by the walls, kissing.
- “Damn you! I curse you and turn you to stone!” - shouted the sorceress.
And the two lovers, embracing, lips to lips, were turned to stone. And so they remained, forever.
