the famous adventures of Capitan Alatriste. Madrid, 1626, this new

This story takes us to the Madrid of Lope de Vega, of Calderon

conspiracies, and all the intrigues that brew in the theaters of
the XVII century. Between Madrid and El Escorial we witness these
new adventures, full of passion, vengeance and dangers, all through
the eyes and narration of the always-faithful nigo Balboa.
