It commemorates the centenary of the tragic flash flood of August 30, 1926, in the municipality of Polán (Toledo), caused by the overflowing of the Conde Stream. The overflowing left five people dead, including three minors. The narrative centers on a traditional *copla* composed in 1926 by a local resident as both a lament and a source of solace in the wake of the tragedy.
