- Treasure belonging to a Spanish Queen in banishment was hidden on Bartra Island. When fleeing from Spain she got into a small ship with some loyal sailors. The ship was passing Bartra Island when another ship was seen in pursuit. The sailors then put in on Bartra Island and buried the Queens treasure.
It was found by some local people may years ago and after that a lot of people used to go out on a moonlight nights in search of more but no more was found.- Collector
