Few cities have as it is such an interesting history and legend; perhaps not knowing their true origin, man's imagination has woven the veil of fantasy around Zacatecas.
There is another reason for the emergence of this legend: the fabulous wealth of the silver that was and is in its mines.
Fantasy and wealth, two very appropriate to forge a legend like we will refer ingredients.
It is said that in this quaint and beautiful peak of Cerro de la Bufa encourages an enchanted princess of rare beauty, that in the morning of each festive Thursday of the year, Walker comes to meet man, asking him to lead her into the high altar is now the Basilica of Zacatecas, and upon reaching the site will esplender the enchanted city, all of silver, which was the capital for many years, and that she, young spell, remember your condition human.
But to break this spell there are certain, such as the traveler, fascinated by the beauty of the girl who called, have the willpower to withstand various tests conditions; that to take her in his arms walk forward without embarrassment and without turning his head, however hear voices that call you and other strange noises that occur behind her.
If the selected lose the serenity and turns back, then the beautiful girl becomes horrible serpent and it all ends there.
The offer is tempting: a very beautiful girl and an inexhaustible fortune, but who is leading man with nerves of steel who can perform this feat? Apparently the conditions are precarious, as Zacatecas, the state is now known, it has more than four centuries old and who has not been eligible to undo the spell.
Writers and poets are born and die more or less gallantry in language all repeat the legend, as a celebration of Zacatecas, the Bufa and the beautiful enchanted princess.
