    I quote the owner of the cache:
    "The Chains of the Cathedral
    Among the many riches that the Cathedral contains, is the Chapel of Los Vélez, a true masterpiece of sculpture ad maiorem gloriam dei and its owners, the Marquises of Los Vélez.
    And among the legends that surround this monument, this is undoubtedly the most famous. From father to son the story of his famous chain has been passed down –in the part of the temple that overlooks the Plaza de los Apóstoles–, which has no beginning or end, and whose perfect execution cost its author –says the legend– that they gouge out his eyes, so that he would never create such a marvel again.
    According to what they say, a beggar came to Murcia and asked for shelter and food in exchange for sculpting in stone the largest chain that human beings had ever seen. Somewhat surprised by the proposal, but intrigued, the Marquis of Los Vélez agreed to hire him as a sculptor under penalty of death if the work was not to his liking. The Marqués de Vélez, whose last name was Chacón y Fajardo, harshly admonished him:
    — If I don't like the play, you will die by hanging.
    "And if you like it?" asked the anonymous madman.
    "Then you will save your life...
    – And there it was. In tables, like in chess...
    After seven years of arduous and secret labor, on New Year's Eve 1507, the work was finished and was presented to the nobleman. Both he and the bishop and their retinues were amazed by the perfection and charm of the work. From then on, everyone praised and entertained the artist and ended up affectionately nicknamed him the Cadenero.
    When he finally announced that he had decided to leave and continue on his way, the Marquis of Vélez, fearful that he could carry out a similar work in other lands, ordered him to be arrested, his eyes gouged out, both hands and his tongue cut off, and finally lock him up in a gloomy prison.
    Thus, the possession of a unique work of art was guaranteed forever.
    Those who approach the chain that borders the Chapel of Los Vélez from its exterior, are amazed by not knowing what the closing link of the sculpture is; and they can verify that the sculptor, far from being a beggar without a country or trade, was the famous Jacobo de Carthage, as can be read in the initials inscribed on the chain itself.
    What fewer people know is that the chain is carved in limestone that comes from a quarry on the road that connects Murcia with Cartagena, near the Puerto de la Cadena -which is called that way precisely for this reason-."

    El Entierro de la Sardina es, junto al Bando de la Huerta, uno de los eventos principales de las Fiestas de Primavera de Murcia, que se celebran tras la Semana Santa.
    Históricamente simboliza la victoria de Don Carnal sobre Doña Cuaresma, representando el final de los rigores y privaciones de la Semana Santa recién concluida. Por eso, se celebraba como método de liberación para cerrar los carnavales. Hoy en día se ha convertido en todo un acontecimiento multitudinario englobado dentro de las Fiestas de Primavera y que ha sido declarado de Interés Turístico Internacional.
    El origen de esta fiesta pagana se remonta al año 1851, cuando un grupo de estudiantes murcianos, tras el desfile de carnaval, y ataviados con capuchones negros y utensilios de cocina recorren las calles de la ciudad portando un féretro a hombros con La Sardina dentro para finalmente quemarla, como símbolo del final de la prohibición de comer carne durante la Cuaresma. Esta fue la primera aproximación al Entierro de la Sardina actual.

    The cache owner writes:
    "Entierro de la Sardina is, along with Bando de la Huerta, one of the main events of the Murcia Spring Festival, which is held after Easter.
    Historically, it symbolizes the victory of Don Carnal over Doña Cuaresma, representing the end of the rigors and privations of the recently concluded Holy Week. For this reason, it was celebrated as a method of liberation to close the carnivals. Today it has become a massive event encompassed within the Spring Festival and has been declared of International Tourist Interest.
    The origin of this pagan festival dates back to 1851, when a group of Murcian students, after the carnival parade, and dressed in black hoods and kitchen utensils, walked the streets of the city carrying a coffin on their shoulders with La Sardina inside to finally burn it, as a symbol of the end of the ban on eating meat during Lent. This was the first approach to the current Burial of the Sardine."

    Cito el dueño del caché:
    "La Rueda de la Ñora y su acueducto conforman uno de los monumentos huertanos más importantes de la huerta de Murcia.
    Situada sobre la acequia Mayor Aljufia, que riega toda la zona norte de la huerta de Murcia.
    Fue declarada BIC en 1982 y es uno de los símbolos de la Huerta de Murcia.
    Curiosamente el pueblo de La Ñora debe su nombre a esta rueda; Tal como señalan Pocklington y otros autores, el topónimo que identifica a esta pedanía deviene del murciano medieval añora, que se refiere a una "rueda hidráulica, movida por la corriente, destinada a elevar agua de riego", procedente del árabe al-nâûra." GoogleTranslater: I quote the owner of the cache: "La Rueda de la Ñora and its aqueduct make up one of the most important garden monuments in the Murcia garden. Located on the Mayor Aljufia ditch, which irrigates the entire northern area of the Murcia orchard. It was declared BIC in 1982 and is one of the symbols of the Huerta de Murcia. Curiously, the town of La Ñora owes its name to this wheel; As Pocklington and other authors point out, the place name that identifies this district comes from the medieval Murcian añora, which refers to a "hydraulic wheel, moved by the current, destined to raise irrigation water", from the Arabic al-nâ ura."
