A village high in the mountains
With beautiful flowers and gardens
A gorge separates the old from the new
Where artisans now number a few
White washed stucco with wrought iron balconies
Withstood cultures of Roman, Arab, and Saxony

Cathedral with gothic and renaissance motif
Gold, solver, and tapestry beyond belief
The Virgin Mary honored and revered
In this remote mountain town across from Tangier
Farmhouses with mills now stand empty
In this lush region of fruit aplenty

Eight hundred years under Arab rule
Interrupted by Christians without ridicule
Now proud Spaniards occupy this land
Once governed by King Ferdinand
This mountainous region south of France
Leaves one enthralled as if in a trance

The first bull ring in this country stands here
Where matador and bull fought yesteryear
Cobblestone streets narrow and mysterious
Draw lovers, the old and curious
Restoration abounds to recapture the authority
In this white village of antiquity
