La esfinge maragata is a novel written by Concha Espina, set in the region of La Maragatería. The story follows Florinda Salvadores, known as Mariflor, who must move to the town of Valdecruces with her grandmother while her father emigrates. On her train journey, she falls in love with the poet Rogelio Terán, a love that is reciprocated but complicated by her engagement to her cousin Antonio, an arranged marriage to save her family from ruin. The novel explores themes of misery, arranged marriages, and personal sacrifice in a rural and socially oppressive context.
