On November 1, 1617, a six-day Levante storm began in Catalonia. It caused widespread crop destruction and rivers overflowed, sweeping away bridges, mills, and forges. This is what the chronicles call the Year of the Flood. During this period, trials of women accused of witchcraft also intensified, with convictions and executions. Is there a cause-and-effect relationship between the two events, or was it simply a coincidence? For Agustí Alcoberro, professor of modern history at the University of Barcelona, ​​​​who has extensively researched witchcraft in Catalonia, this is no mere coincidence. Women were accused of having caused these natural disasters.
