(oil on canvas 60x45 cm) HISTORY
-Times were hard, in which the merchants roamed the villages and towns of the Iberian Peninsula trying to sell or change anything that might give them some benefit.
came to the coast of Blanes (important port in those days). It was a ship loaded with porcelain oriental origin, gunpowder and other goods for use and enjoyment of the noble families. What nobody knew was that in their warehouses, kept sedated a fierce animal of extraordinary proportions. That fire-breathing beast from its jaws. That is why they had called: "Thon-Ha" in his native dialect of the deepest of China meant "fiery bowels beast."
I never suspected that the day they were going to leave the port, a terrible storm wrecked would have barely been able to get away from the Catalan coast.
was the cold rain and buffeting the wreck what woke from their slumber and released from captivity to the huge dragon. Once off the ship, he spread his wings and flew inland in search of a mountainous area where possible to protect hunters. He flew for hours and crossed the volcanic mountain "Montseny. Her instinct was to stop at the top of a small hill. He found a cave to hide, and she made her home.
For years, he was creating panic among the inhabitants of the region. Such was the fear of the villagers, who were forced to build a watchtower at the top of the mountain to warn the people with signs of fire when they saw the dreaded dragon appear.
Finally someone stood up to the monster and was killed ...
But that's another story.
What is clear is that his name became the village of the dragon "Thon-Ha" even now is known as "Tona"
