It is said that the lakes where the dones d'aigua, or water-women, indulge in their bathing rituals possess a fiery temperament. They exhibit their wrath by boiling in anger should any stranger dare to intrude upon their sacred waters. Among the notable figures in Majorcan folklore is Maria Enganxa, renowned as the water-woman of the land. Tradition holds that she dwells within wells and cisterns, using her hook to seize unsuspecting children who wander too close. These legends contribute to the enigmatic allure of the aloja, a captivating embodiment of both beauty and danger.
