A school party is on its way to the Dalí Museum at Figueres. A group of girls have been making bracelets. They ask a young man if he wants to buy one. He looks at them blankly, as if he doesn’t understand Spanish.

“Buy this for your girlfriend,” they say to him in English.

He shakes his head and smiles shyly. “I don’t have a girlfriend.”

The girls tell him they are witches and say he will have a pretty blonde girlfriend within two weeks if he buys a bracelet.

“No, thank you,” he replies.

“Then you will die a lonely death,” they say, breaking into laughter.
