The Lovers of Teruel is a romance story taken place in 1217 in the city of Teruel (Spain)

Public performance on the streets.

In the city there were two important and wealthy families, Marcilla and Segura. Juan Diego Garces de Marcilla (also known as Diego) was a Marcilla and Isabel a Segura. The two were in love as childhood playmates but when they were both at an eligible age to wed, Diego’s family had fallen on hard times. Isabel’s father, being the most wealthy in all of Teruel, forbade the marriage. Diego, however, was able to make an agreement with the father in which he would leave Teruel for five years to try to build his fortune. If Diego was able to gain wealth within those five years he would be able to marry his love, Isabel.
