Widows' Grotto Road Sign

Location Description

According to legend, many years ago a young woman would wait here and watch for her husband’s return from an overseas raid. Years passed and woman grew old, still waiting for her husband. Yet he never came, and finally, she died. Three days after her funeral, her husband returned, having at last escaped from the pirates who had held him captive all this time. When he learned about his beloved’s loyal vigil, he wept bitter tears, then leapt to his death.
