During the 1980s, a convent in Lizaso (Navarra) was home to the eccentric Arco Iris community. The building's nondescript walls were adorned with enormous floral motifs, and its rooms hosted large gatherings where people experimented with cathartic New Age practices. Today, the building is inhabited by cloistered monks, and traces of that episode are almost imperceptible. The authors of San Simón 62 visit the place, drawn by the testimonies of their mothers who, trying to shake off the aftermath of Franco's regime and face the personal and political challenges of this new era, passed through the Arco Iris community.
