It all started near the city of Catacaos where there is a town called Narihualá.

It is a
town that has been inhabited by different tribes. Upon learning of the arrival of the
conquistadors, the last inhabitants of Narihualá decided to bury themselves alive,
along with all their riches, so that they could not be possessed. Among their most
precious objects was an enormous golden bell. It was hanging from a large temple,
which the Spaniards soon found. In the attempt to capture it, the bell collapsed in its
sleep and sank into the earth, and the conquistadors could not find it. Finally, they say
that every Good Friday a small man of this ancient tribe appears, who carries in his
hands a lighted candle and a small bell that makes noise and then guides the villagers
to the buried objects, who have found pearls and gold objects. It is also said that there
is a curse on any outsider who tries to possess these treasures.
