Overview
The official English trail booklet presents La Senyoreta as a fairy-like guardian living in Auvinyà’s tower. From Roc de la Senyoreta she threatens a southern invader with punishment. The warrior becomes a speaking wolf and attacks sheep. A local lord kills it, then suffers recurring battles with the animal in nightmares. The White Lady identifies possession by the wolf’s spirit and ends his suffering with a spell. Her protection therefore extends beyond repelling an army to resolving the consequences of its transformed leader.
The Government’s cultural portal preserves a different introduction. A family controlling the border dwindles to one woman; after her death, a mysterious white lady succeeds her. The apparition confronts the bishop of Urgell during a period of oppressive taxes. That encounter should not be substituted for the tourism booklet’s invading-warrior episode. Both place a powerful female presence at the border, but the opponents and explanatory frames differ. The portal attributes its telling to Ricard Fiter i Vilajoana’s Les llegendes d’Andorra.
RTVA’s May 2014 report describes Toni Cruz’s sculpture at reconstructed Auvinyà and its protective civic symbolism. It attributes the warrior-to-wolf version to Albert Puigoriol’s Andorra, el meu país. The cultural portal also identifies the legend as an inspiration for a local festival giant. These are distinct forms of reception; neither proves an earliest origin date or that the sculpture records a witnessed apparition.
