1. Parador of Cardona. This medieval castle organises the ´Mystery Night´ for corporate clients, who suffer in their flesh the mysteries of Room 712, where it is said that the furniture have their own life.

4. Incentives in the land of vampires. We all know that Transylvania is the land of vampire myths and birthplace of Count Dracula, but did you know that this inhospitable region hides other attractions such as truffles, the best in the continent? Truffles and Blood, the name by which the communication agency RM has named its Transylvanian incentive includes accommodation in a hotel in the walls of the legendary Castle Dracula and outputs to explore the Carpathian Mountains in search of wild truffles with dogs.

5. The Escorial Monastery and the Palace of Linares. It is said that the location of San Lorenzo de El Escorial was not chosen by chance, but rather was intended to cover one of the mouths of hell, and the chair of the monarch is built on an altar where human sacrifices were held. In the vicinity of the monastery, a singular magnetism alters the behavior of compasses.

Meanwhile, the Palace of Linares, today seat of House of America, is one of the country´s most famous alleged haunted houses … The legend says that the Marquis of Linares married his illegitimate sister and fruit of this relationship born a girl. When they learned of their marriage relationship, killed her own daughter to avoid a scandal and buried the body in the palace itself.

It takes the group ´cheated´ to a supposed quiet visit, and at one point the lights go out and they should investigate the way out, discovering mysteries and strange devices in the bunker.

8. Witches of Zugarramurdi. Covens, inquisitors and witches … the history of the Navarre town of Zugarramurdi is closely related to the merciless harassment of the Inquisition, which condemned eleven of its neighbors to die at the stake accused of practicing witchcraft. The town takes this dark historical fact to present a series of tenders for incentives such as the Museum of Witchcraft, available for tours and events, the annual celebration of Day of the Caves´ theatrical evenings, and lectures. They have also launched Road Witchcraft, totaling 222km and structured along four routes on persecution, superstitions and myths.

Esoteric Zaragoza with Gozarte. ´An autumn of death´ dinner dedicated to Dracula, scary nights in the cemetery, ´Executed in the cemetery walls´, ´Tombs with its own name´, ´Under the Moorish Moon´ … Gozarte is one of the agencies most exploits the adrenaline of fear in their proposals, walking aragoza through the prism of mystery.

10. The mystery of the lake. Scotland is another region with a tradition of mystery … Besides castles with phantoms, is home to the very famous Loch Ness monster.
