CEMENTERIO DEL ESTE

There is a saint here named Francesc Canals Ambrós, "El Santet" - and one of the most visited graves in the East Cemetery. We can't find any information on why he's so popular, except rumor has it he was a humble young man who died in a fire in 1932 and that people have great religious devotion for his (alleged) miracles. They leave handwritten notes through a glass window in front of his grave, then pray and walk away without looking back. I wish I had known this before I got here. Anyway, this was a really special place with lots of evil cats.
