[ENG-SPN] Noya: the cemetery of forgotten slabs / Noya: el cementerio de las losas olvidadas
Without a doubt, one of the most unique and mysterious places in that Celtic and ancestral Galicia, which still persists in paying full devotion to its ancient myths and traditions, is this beautiful fishing village on the Coast of the Death, to which Tradition, a blessed treasure if there is one, is granted by the grace of having been founded, by none other than, by one of the granddaughters of the biblical patriarch, Noah, after the waters returned to their channel, forming new lands, consequence of that brutal cataclysm, known as the Universal Flood.
But Noya also reminds me of the unique cemetery of forgotten books, which the writer, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, with the exception that here, the books are transformed into singular tombstones, that pile up without rhyme or reason on the edge of the cemetery of the church of Santa María a Nova and that, having never served to protect the last shames of a human being, nevertheless detail and like the pages of a cryptic medieval grimoire , a singularity of symbols and epigraphies, which, like the numbers that are dates and the initials that are names, by Antonio Machado, reveal a story, whose meaning, even after centuries, we have never been able to discover.
Sin duda, uno de los lugares más singulares y misteriosos de esa Galicia, céltica y ancestral, que todavía se obstina en rendir cumplida devoción a sus antiguos mitos y tradiciones, es ésta hermosa villa marinera de la Costa de la Muerte, a la que la Tradición, bendito tesoro donde los haya, la otorga la gracia de haber sido fundada, nada más y nada menos, que por una de las nietas del patriarca bíblico, Noé, después de que las aguas volvieran a su cauce, formando nuevas tierras, a consecuencia de aquel brutal cataclismo, conocido como el Diluvio Universal.
Pero Noya, además, me recuerda también el singular cementerio de los libros olvidados, que el escritor, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, situó en el corazón del Barrio Gótico de Barcelona, con la excepción de que aquí, los libros se transforman en singulares losas sepulcrales, que se amontonan sin ton ni son a la vera del cementerio de la iglesia de Santa María a Nova y que, no habiendo servido nunca para proteger las últimas vergüenzas de un ser humano, detallan, no obstante y como las páginas del un críptico grimorio medieval, una singularidad de símbolos y epigrafías, que, como los números que son fechas y las iniciales que son nombres, de Antonio Machado, delatan una historia, cuyo sentido, todavía, al cabo de los siglos, nos hemos podido nunca descubrir.

Noya must have really remind you of a lot of things
The truth is that it does: it brings back many good memories for me.
Seem like they take their traditions very seriously here and I’d love to know more about them though
I love the building too
Looks really nice
Spain, in general, has always felt a special devotion for its traditions. It happens that, in Galicia, these usually have a Celtic character as a background and it is not uncommon to find ancient traditions adapted to Christian evangelization. But in this part, there are still many interesting things in that sense.
