A poor squire was in charge of a castle called Ródenas in the district of Albarracín.
The castle was on top of a steep cliff, and there was a spring at the bottom in a valley.
When the castellan went to collect his pay, he left his wife in charge of the place.
Everyday, she went to fetch water from the spring at the bottom of the cliff.
One day, a strong wind swept her off the mountainside.
She called on the Virgin to aid her. Although she fell a very long way she was not harmed or killed. This miracle became known throughout Spain.
