With successive extensions and its three different buildings, Posada del Peine became a genuine labyrinth where it was all too easy to get lost. It was also perfect for hiding or for getting up to antics at night, thanks to the passageways that linked certain rooms. And while we’re on the subject of hiding places, don’t let me forget Room 126. \r According to legend, this room featured a cupboard with a secret door. This concealed a flight of steps up to the floor above, although it was so narrow that there was barely enough room to pass. The upper cubbyhole was said to have been used for hiding fugitives, holding clandestine meetings, and even for concealing lovers. \r Who knows whether there is any truth to this although, generally speaking, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Some people say the secret hidey-hole still exists although it’s now abandoned. Whatever the case, a labyrinth like this must have been the perfect place to get up to all kinds of mischief.\r
