Description

Santa Monica is a small town in Andalusia, roughly halfway between Seville and Malaga. Some compare it to a paella slowly boiling. Others compare it to the saint who gave it its name—the mother of the blessed Augustine. To someone, it resembles a brave bullfighter standing in the way of an enraged bull. And they’re all right. The passions overflowing the people of Santa Monica show themselves again and again in the most unpredictable ways—through incredible love stories, dizzying scams, and even outright vile and bloody crimes. This small Andalusian town has accumulated no small number of secrets and mysteries, and at the center of each of them is the endless love of its residents for one another and for the place where they were lucky enough to be born and live.
