«El rapto del Santo Grial» is the novel by Paloma Díaz-Mas, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (104 pages, in Spanish).
Arthur gathers the elderly knights of the Round Table: the Grail is in the castle of Acabarás, guarded by Blancaniña. Lancelot, Perceval and the Knight of Purple set out to find it, though they fear that finding it may mean the end of adventure. The work blends the legendary with the nostalgic-ironic, echoing the romancero and oral poetry.
