Delirio--The Fantastic, the Demonic, and the Réel: The Buried History of Nuevo León

by Marie Theresa Hernández

Striking, inexplicable stories circulate among the people of Nuevo Le n in northern Mexico. Stories of conversos (converted Jews) who fled the Inquisition in Spain and became fabulously wealthy in Mexico. Stories of women and children buried in walls and under houses. Stories of an entire, secret city hidden under modern-day Monterrey. All these stories have no place or corroboration in the official histories of Nuevo Le n.
