The story unfolds in a picturesque Basque village called Ustariz, focusing on the lives of a group of Spanish exiles, including the three travelers who arrive there seeking refuge. Central to the narrative is the mysterious weather vane atop the Gastizar mansion, symbolizing the political turmoil and dualities within human nature, as it is linked to significant historical events and the local lore surrounding the old dragon figure it depicts. The opening of the novel introduces us to this enchanting setting, beginning with a whimsical description of the vanes that crown the tower of the Gastizar estate. As the story progresses, we meet three Spanish travelers who arrive in Ustariz amidst an autumn storm. They are led by the seasoned Campillo, accompanied by the young Lacy and the naive Ochoa. Upon their arrival at the local inn, "La Veleta," they engage with the innkeeper, Esteban, and inquire about a local figure, ultimately leading to a deeper exploration of the region's past and its connection to the political strife affecting Spain. The opening effectively sets the tone for a blend of fantastical elements and a reflection on the sociopolitical climate of the time, offering readers glimpses into the lives and struggles of its characters.
