Legend has it that many years ago a Moor arrived in the lands of Domaio with his beautiful daughter. The girl fell madly in love with a local farmer , meeting him in this place . The father , contrary to this relationship , surprised them in the puddle , killing the farmer . The blackberry maddened by pain, plunged into the puddle and disappeared. It is said that since then , on summer nights the moans of the blackberry can be heard , coming from the puddle . On the night of San Juan , according to legend , the blackberry appears in the puddle combing her wide hair with a gold comb .
