We are going to a town located 45 kilometers from Santiago de Compostela. And it is that Galicia is a land of rites, magic and spirits, but, specifically, Corpiño is a site famous for “scaring away” the devil and “save” the faithful from their “clutches”. At the top of the town, with just over 60 inhabitants, is the great temple of exorcisms, as you can see in the main video that accompanies this news item.
When we arrive, it is closed, although an offering market is already starting to rise around it. One of the vendors says that the change in parish priest has reduced his clientele, but it is barely 11:00 when the first bus appears, and thus up to six arrive at the temple, so we witness a real “invasion” of faithful who come attracted by the “miracle of the supernatural”, for “the fight against the evil one”.
There, myth and legend mix with reality. No one knows how to tell us for sure what happens behind the walls of the sanctuary. A man tells that one day “a woman dragged six men”, something that, he stressed, “was not normal”, although he affirms that “it seems that he was cured”. We check the profile of the visitors: believers, older and mostly women. We try to access the church, but it is practically impossible. In the background, you can see the new rector of the sanctuary for just over a year.
