About this listen

Can you hear the voices?

They are trapped in objects from Spain’s past. An antique door knocker that witnessed a beheading. A murderous revolver hidden under the floor tile of a theater. A centuries-old castle stone pissed on by a madman.

Everyday people stumble across these objects: a mountain farmer forced by the housing crisis to sell his land, a hospital nurse hell-bent on meting out vigilante justice, a traumatized Afghan war veteran, an American immigrant to Madrid…

When the sun goes down, when they touch these objects, the voices tell their story.

Stories of Celtic warriors high on shrooms, mad bulls, gold-toothed bandoleers in hidden caves, Nazi collaborators, penis-shrinking witches, adulterous kings…

Join these characters and discover the horrific blood stories of Spain’s past.

Discover the horror…that lies inside your own mind.

Spanish Sundown is the result of years of ongoing historical research. An original audio drama production, it features the authentic sounds of Spain recorded on-site. Close your eyes and travel here with your mind.

    After yet another fight with her self-absorbed boyfriend, photographer Clara escapes to her family's mountain cabin in San Rafael to clear her head and take some wildlife shots. There, she discovers a mysterious hidden cave, la Cueva Valiente.

    Inside is a glowing red necklace, hundreds of years old. She learns its connection to bandoleer Juan Plaza's demise after his attack on a government convoy in the pass between Madrid and Segovia.
