Excerpt from The Pagan at the Shrine "Por ver â la Pilarica Venimos de Cala Torao Venimos en la perrera Jesús, lo que hemos gastáo!" Gigantes y Cabezudos. Santa Fe is a city of some forty thousand souls in the South of Spain, it does many things in general to earn a living, but not much in particular. In the first place, as you may gather from its name, it is a most religious city and famed for its processions. It claims the sugar factories of the vega, it claims the fishing trade of Cinco Caminos, it claims the very good business in olive oil that passes through it to the sea, coming from Valamo. It claims, with greater justice, a trade in wine and raisins, it tins a few unwilling little fish that vainly expostulate, "But we're not sardines!" it smokes a deal of tobacco, drinks a veritable ocean of coffee, has its own opinions, and trusts in Providence. The most conspicuous building is the bull-ring, and the cathedral is a very good second. To give some idea of the importance of this fane it may be recorded that the annual consumption of wax "To see Our Lady of the Pillar Forth from our poor home we went, Travelling in the dog's compartment. God! The money we have spent!" Chorus of poor rustics - Holy Week in Zaragosa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
