Taramundi
A chapter-by-chapter novel from Asturias
Our origin
Ever wondered where we come from? Why we spend our days causing mischief in supermarkets, hair salons and anywhere humans gather? Well, here's the answer: this is our origin story, the one that tells how it all started in a tiny Asturian village called Taramundi.
It all began when Axel, a rather curious human, arrived in that green corner of northern Spain. That's where he first discovered us, among ancient forests and secrets that had been waiting centuries to be found. And from that moment, nothing was ever the same for either of us.
A Bit of a Do
An empty square, a song and a van full of poles in the morning
A Hundred and Seventy-Nine
It rained three days straight and they went through the photos one by one
The Other Conversation
Seven minutes leaning on a wash house and a three-word lie
Travelling Light
A rubbish sleeping bag, two cut-price hammocks and Eva’s grandfather
There Were Eight
Someone moved the washing around in a village of twenty people
But It’s Mine
A hardback notebook, a glass and three words in the middle of the street
Zoquete
One who doesn’t talk, a letter with a date and two pieces of chocolate
Ancient mysteries
Chapter by chapter you'll discover who we really are, where we come from and what drives us as guardians of everyday joy. This isn't just any story: there are ancient secrets, unexpected paths and magical moments that explain why we do what we do today.
Taramundi isn't just a dot on the map. It's where everything clicked, where magic stopped being legend and became something you can see, touch and feel. Each chapter brings you a little closer to understanding why we Magikitos exist and what moves us.
A shared adventure
This story is meant to be read together, chapter by chapter, like the adventures of old. You can enjoy it alone or with someone, all at once or bit by bit. What matters is that you let yourself be carried by the journey and discover every corner of our world at your own pace.
Little ones love the adventures and characters. Grown-ups catch the winks and reflections hidden between the lines. And everyone ends up wanting to know what happens next. So get cozy, pick where to start and get ready to dive into Taramundi.
