Legends

There are many legends that try to explain the name, La Mujer Muerta, with the mountains La Pinareja, Peña el Oso, and Pico de Pasapán that form, when viewed from the city, the body of a woman that is dead or sleeping. One story is that the woman's husband went off to war and failed to keep his promise that he would return and marry her. She died of a broken heart and that is her body in the mountain.

According to this, the peak of La Pinareja corresponds to the face of the woman laying on her back. The peak of Peña el Oso corresponds to her arms crossed over her chest. Finally, Pico de Pasapán corresponds to the woman's feet.

A legend with a more pastoral backgrounds speaks of a farmer's beautiful daughter who fell in love with a farmer too. This farmer saw a different man in her doorway one night and, out of jealousy, killed him. The woman was killed at the same time and in a storm a few days later, the mountain was formed.
