10 Venezuelan Myths and Legends

in #culture6 years ago

Venezuelan myths and legends have always liked me because they have a content and a narrative that makes anyone who starts to read them become interested in the subject until they know everything about it.

The legends are true stories that mix with fiction, and are told from generation to generation, that is why you will hear different stories depending on who you ask about these issues. In addition, their characters are often historical of a place or area where they originate. In places like El Llano and Los Andes, legends referring to characters dating from colonial times are very common. The majority originates from some tragic event, which ends in a public condemnation or directly in a divine intervention.

For me the most famous Venezuelan myths and legends are these:


• La Sayona
