Ca: Oriol, fotògraf de vocació, cercava el moment perfecte per capturar la màgia del lloc.

Ca: "Avui descobrirem història i misteri.

En: As they moved through the castle, Montserrat listened carefully to every word from Gemma, hoping to find some reference to those lesser-known stories she so longed for.

Ca: Mentrestant, l'Oriol feia clics hereus de la seva càmera, intentant capturar la llum que s’escolpia entre les pedres antigues.
En: Meanwhile, Oriol was clicking away with his camera, trying to capture the light sculpting itself between the ancient stones.

Ca: "La llegenda diu que aquí baix, sota aquestes pedres, hi ha tresors amagats," va dir la Gemma mentre assenyalava una antiga porta mig oculta per la vegetació.
En: "The legend says that down here, beneath these stones, there are hidden treasures," said Gemma as she pointed to an old door half-hidden by vegetation.
