From Ubeda to Granada




	Ever since I heard it in school ages ago, Longfellow's wonderfully poignant poem A Dutch Picture has stuck with me: Simon Danz has come home again, From cruising about with his buccaneers; He has singed the beard of the King of Spain, And carried away the Dean of Jaen And sold him in Algiers. ... (Danz finds himself haunted by the sea and finally: "So he thinks he shall take to the sea again For one more cruise with his buccaneers...") At left: poster for a bullfight in Jaen. Below: distant views of Jaen.
