I'm looking for some information on ley lines in Spain, particularly here in Andalucía where I live. I have plenty of background on the subject, especially from the UK, but very little Spanish data. If anyone can point me in the right direction, an email would be much appreciated (and could earn you a drink if you ever visit Nerja!) Thanks.

Hi davej!!!! It's GREAT to see you here again!

I have NO idea what "ley lines" are. Can you tell us? I know that "ley" is spanish for "law" but I still can't figure it out. Maybe it's some kind of fishing method?? wink

Saludos, MadridMan confused

I read this message when it was posted and I, like Madridman, am eager to find out what Ley Lines are, so I am posting this in the hope that bringing it back to the top of the list might lead someone to inform us smile

Fascinating subject, I hope you find something out davej smile

I think the term ley lines is mostly recognised by us here in Britain. Here is a bit of a summary for those of you who are still unaware:

Quote:
Ley Lines
Ley lines, or Leys, are alignments of ancient sites stretching across the landscape. Ancient sites or holy places may be situated in a straight line ranging from one or two to several miles in length. A ley may be identified simply by an aligned placing of marker sites, or it might be visible on the ground for all or part of its length by the remnants of an old straight track.
For more info EARTH MYSTERIES

I'd be interested to know if you find out anything Spain related davej.

Sorry to be so long getting back, and thanks for the "Welcome Home" MadridMan (not that I've been anywhere!)

Jo-Anne's explanation in spot on, and ley lines do seem to be a British study subject, although they are said to exist everywhere.

The reason this arose was as a result of the number of foreigners who live here (in Nerja, Málaga) and who say they felt an urge or pull to be here. Many "blamed" this on the strength of the ley lines in the area, and I was commissioned by a local magazine (www.nerjaessential.com) to write a piece on it. But finding out much about the phenomenon has been, well, not easy!

Thanks for your responses. If I get anywhere, I'll post the info here.

¡Un saludo de España!
