T. II, p

Que confesar su derrota un andaluz, es muy duro.

Les étrangers se montrent généralement sévères à l'égard des Andalous. Ford dit dans le Guide Murray : « The native is the gracioso of the Peninsula, a term given in the play bills to the cleverest comic actor. » Borrow se montre plus dur encore : « The higher class of the Andalusians are probably upon the whole the most vain and foolish of human beings, with a taste for nothing but sensual amusement, foppery in dress and ribald discourse. Their insolence is only equalled by their meanness and their prodigality by their avarice. The lower classes are a shade or two better than their superiors.. The Andalusians are in general held in the lower estimation by the rest of the Spaniards. » (Bible in Spain, p. 277.)
