\"\"<\/a>En el camino que va desde Sevilla a Granada, es inevitable que nuestra vista se detenga en una imponente pe\u00f1a de forma singular de la vega malague\u00f1a: el perfil rocoso que se asemeja a un rostro humano, un indio yaciente, que mira al cielo. Esta roca de gris calizo, rodeada de campos de cultivo, ser\u00e1 el escenario de otra tr\u00e1gica historia de enamorados.<\/p>\n

Nuestra siguiente historia se centra en tierra andaluza, m\u00e1s concretamente en la Antequera del siglo XV, frontera entre \u00e1rabes y cristianos. La leyenda de la Pe\u00f1a de los Enamorados ha sido narrada desde entonces por poetas y trovadores, y sedujo a escritores rom\u00e1nticos como Washington Irving. Incluso Cervantes narr\u00f3 en el cap\u00edtulo V del Quijote una historia parecida entre un abencerraje y la bella Jarifa, aunque con final m\u00e1s propicio a los amantes.<\/p>\n

Aunque existen varias, la versi\u00f3n m\u00e1s extendida fue durante a\u00f1os de tradici\u00f3n oral: cuenta la leyenda como Tello, joven cristiano de Antequera, fue hecho prisionero en la vecina localidad de Archidona. Quiso el azar que Tagzona, hija del alcalde musulm\u00e1n de dicha localidad, pasase por los calabozos, y ambos se enamoraron perdidamente. Ya que profesaban distinta religi\u00f3n, y siendo conscientes de que su matrimonio era imposible, decidieron fugarse juntos. Descubiertos por los guardias, y con el padre de Tagzona al frente, los j\u00f3venes se vieron acorralados junto a un pe\u00f1\u00f3n a las afueras de la localidad. Sabiendo que el destino iba a separarles, subieron a la cima, y pidiendo a su respectivo dios que no los separase, se arrojaron al abismo cogidos de la mano. Desde entonces el mancebo qued\u00f3 convertido en la monta\u00f1a que hoy conocemos, y la doncella en el viento que acaricia su perfil.<\/p>\n

SEG\u00daN CUENTA LA LEYENDA
\n(Malague\u00f1a de fiesta)
\nLetra: Rafael D\u00edaz Portillo. M\u00fasica: Juan Jos\u00e9 Reyes Santaella<\/p>\n

Voy a contarte un cuento
\nDe amor y de desventura
\nQue es como un lamento
\nUn sue\u00f1o de locura<\/em><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan cuenta la leyenda
\ndos amantes perseguidos
\nNo quisieron ser cautivos
\nY al subir a la monta\u00f1a
\nAl fin quedaron rendidos<\/em><\/p>\n

En lo alto de la pe\u00f1a
\nA punto de ser prendidos
\nSin tener otro camino
\nSe abrazaron al vac\u00edo
\nHuyendo de su destino<\/em><\/p>\n

A la sombra de la pe\u00f1a
\nComo dos enamorados
\nla morilla y el cristiano
\nduermen juntos en el r\u00edo
\nbajo el cielo antequerano<\/em><\/p>\n

On the road from Seville to Granada, you can’t fail to notice an impressive rock of a peculiar shape in Malaga’s fertile meadow: the rocky profile looks like a human face, a lying Native American looking at the sky. This rock of limy grey, surrounded by fields, will be the scene of another tragic history involving a couple of lovers.<\/p>\n

Our next story takes place in Andalusia, more exactly in the village of Antequera in the 15th century, the frontier between Moors and Christians. The legend of the Rock of the Lovers has been narrated since then by poets and troubadours, and captivated romantic writers such as Washington Irving. Even Cervantes wrote in chapter V of Don Quixote a similar story between an Abencerraje and the beautiful Jarifa, though with a more propitious ending for the lovers.<\/p>\n

Although there are several versions, the most widespread one was spread through oral tradition: the story goes that Tello, a young Christian from Antequera, was made prisoner in Archidona’s neighboring village. By chance, Tagzona, daughter of the Moslem mayor of the mentioned town, passed through the dungeons, and both fell in love passionately. As they were from different religions, and being aware that their marriage was impossible, they decided elope together. Discovered by the guards commanded by Tagzona’s father, the young lovers were cornered close to a crag outside the village. Knowing that fate was going to separate them, they climbed to the top, and asking their respective gods not to separate them, they threw themselves to the abyss hand in hand. Since then, the youth was turned into the mountain we can see nowadays, and the maiden into the wind that caresses his profile.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I am going to tell you a story <\/em>
\n Of love and of misfortune<\/em>
\n That is like a lament<\/em>
\n A dream of madness<\/em>
\n <\/em>
\nThe story goes that<\/em>
\n Two chased lovers<\/em>
\n Did not want to be captive<\/em>
\n And having climbed up the mountain<\/em>
\n At the end they were exhausted<\/em>
\n <\/em>
\nAt the summit of the rock<\/em>
\n On the verge of being caught<\/em>
\n Without having\u00a0 any other way<\/em>
\n They held on the emptiness<\/em>
\n Fleeing from their destination<\/em>
\n <\/em>
\nIn the shade of the rock<\/em>
\n As two lovers<\/em>
\n The Moor and the Christian<\/em>
\n sleep together in the river<\/em>
\n Under the Antequera sky<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
