"La Gran Señora"
La Gran Señora or The Great Lady is a shopping store in the city of Camaguey. But behind this store there is a legend. It tells that a poor married couple, after getting married went to live to a very old house located in the same corner where the store is located today. The time passed and the lady of the house was looking everyday a hand in one of the old columns inside the house. "There is a hand", she said to her husband, but he didn't see it, and neither others, so nobody believed her. This could only be seeing by her. One day, after being insisting again and again about the same thing, her husband decided to destroy the column to make this disappear and break the mystery. But the most amazing was what she found inside the column. She found a treasure chest full of gold coins. With all the money found inside the column and thankful to his wife, this good man build a shopping store in that corner and named it The Great Lady in honor to his wife.
