| But wait there's more.... |
Coming soon another installment of the Count of Baltimore's travels in northern Spain, where he is known as El Conde de Baltimore. This time he's joined once again by O Conde Pai, as well as O Conde Tio, who returns for the first time to the childhood home he fled during the Franco regime, and his uncle's son, O Conde Primo.
| The view from the trough |
GRANADA DEL RIO TINTO (JNS) _ The water pours from the ground and is guided through a covered clothes washing shed made of brick with individual stalls.
That wasn't there when we lived here, my father says.
He points to an even older stone trough, and says that's the one he remembers.
It's hot and dry, the summer sun still baking us at 8 p.m. Everyone except my father takes off their sandals and dips their feet in the cool water in a third trough with a cross at one end. It's been nearly 70 years since he left and my father can't remember what the third trough was used for.
The next day, a street cleaner, drinking water from a spout filling a similar series of troughs in nearby Aracena, explains the system.
