The author discusses the three names given since the l6th century to a well-known hill in Old Havana: "El Cayaguayo", "La Peña Pobre" and "La Loma del Ángel". The second name is the most enigmatic. By calling attention to the influence of chivalry novels among the Spanish conquerors and first settlers of the Americas, the author argues that "La Peña Pobre" was named after an episode of the novel Amadís de Gaula, in the same way as the ñame California was taken from the novel Sergas de Esplandián, based on the classical myth of the Amazons.
