La Oca

SOME HISTORY FACTS:

La Oca (the goose) is an old traditional and popular boardgame that some sources indicate its origins during the siege of Troy based on the disk of Festo (approx. 1700 BC), some to have been used by the Templars with a hidden code based on the French Path of St. James (Santiago de Compostela – XII AC) and some to be born in Florence by the Médicis (XV AC).

It is a popular saying that "If you go to Santiago and not to El Salvador, you visit the vassal and forgot the Lord."

The version we are presenting to you is a unique representation of that boardgame but with locations from the First Path of St. James (El Camino Primitivo - IX AC) which originated from Oviedo's Cathedral of San Salvador by the first official pilgrim, the king Alfonso II, in 834 AC, to a roman settlement where the hidden tomb was found before Santiago de Compostela acquired its own name or the Kingdom of Spain was even stablished by the expansion of the Kingdom of Asturias.
