This article shows how, taking as a starting point the trials of Pareja (Guadalajara, 1527), better known as the witch trials of Barahona, a story can be composed and then studied from a literary point of view. Until now, judicial documents in witch trials were mainly used to identify traditional narratives that had been a resource for the prosecution, the accused or the witnesses. However, the wonder tale that lies in these materials has not been addressed yet, which can be achieved by combining the information recorded in a fragmentary, discontinuous way, which we ought to join together, like the pieces of a puzzle. Thus opening a new way of research, we will prove that any witch trial can be analysed after this concept, on the grounds that the example of the Barahona witches give us thanks to their relevant survival in the collective ideology and to the different references found later in literature and the press. In the same way, our research will contribute to a deeper knowledge of these Castilian women to whom numerous infanticides were attributed in their hamlet, and whose image was finally outlined in the courtroom.
