Our origin

Ever wondered where we come from? Why we spend our days causing mischief in supermarkets, hair salons and anywhere humans gather? Well, here's the answer: this is our origin story, the one that tells how it all started in a tiny Asturian village called Taramundi.

It all began when Axel, a rather curious human, arrived in that green corner of northern Spain. That's where he first discovered us, among ancient forests and secrets that had been waiting centuries to be found. And from that moment, nothing was ever the same for either of us.
