Re: Paloma?
She does! Her title is Virgen de la Paloma (Virgin of the Dove) or Nuestra Señora de la Paloma (Our Lady of the Dove), and she is regarded as a minor but popular patron saint of Madrid, hence why the name is most common there (https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgen_de_la_Paloma_de_Madrid).

Ah yes, thanks for the info! I think I actually stayed on the street where they start the festival celebrating this, Calle de Paloma. There was a church on the street named after this Mary!
