"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." This cry of an apostle was so made in the seventeenth century Salamanca, where King Philip II issued an order to be fulfilled during the Lenten abstinence from the two types of meat: animal and carnal. Under this decree, all public women living in the house of the brothel should be carried out of town during Lent. For that reason, from Ash Wednesday abandoned prostitutes Salamanca to move into the other side of the Tormes, in Tejares.
Legend has it that a priest, nicknamed Father 'whores', was in charge of their care. Because although women are away, the Christian conscience could not stop 'to assist them spiritually. " This situation continues until Monday Water -Monday after Easter Sunday, "when the Father 'Putas' boat would pick them up in the company of students. Moving
mentally that time is not difficult: university rogues can not wait that prostitutes return to the City, week of Lent is long and made them come Monday Water permeates the festive nature Salamanca. The boats are flooding the Tormes, more fortunate students will collect together the Father 'whores' while the inhabitants of the city waiting on the shore.
