“From the town hall it creeps between shops whose upper floors
are almost connected; it passes cafes where Gypsies dance;
it winds through markets heavy with fruit and fish;
it is the center for silversmiths and booksellers
and the carvers of rosaries. It is the most
extraordinary passageway in Spain.”
– James Michener,
Mexico, p. 329,
speaking of the winding,
narrow alley called
“Sierpes” in Seville,
Spain.
