La leyenda de la Peregrina

La Peregrina is, without a doubt, the most extraordinary, if not the most famous pearl of all time. Coming from the waters of the Caribbean Sea, it was given to Felipe II and since then it has become one of the main jewels of the Hispanic monarchy. It was inherited by the jeweler of several queens until, after the War of Independence, it was taken to France. At that moment began the second life of the Pilgrim, whose culminating moment was when, already in the 20th century, Richard Burton gave her as a pledge of love to another legendary woman: the immense actress Elizabeth Taylor. Confessing her inspiration from the contemporary classic El beetle by Mújica Laínez, Carmen Posadas chooses as the protagonist of her new project an object destined to pass from hand to hand and have a risky, adventurous trajectory and, without a doubt, worthy of the great novel that the reader has in his hands.
