santa eulalia was a thirteen year old girl who was preaching in the streets, this was not tolerated and she was stripped naked and forced to stand in the city square. The story is that a cloud came and starting snowing on her covering her with a blanket if snow. The officials did not like this and tortured her thirteen different ways after that. Today, the women of the neighborhood come and care for the memorial site. This is on the street where she was tortured by being thrown into a barrel full of knives and rolled down the street.
