Visconti July Watercolor
However, boasts original and not to repeat every year with the same, I now gloss also another saint "Granada" and rich tradition that was once popular in our neighborhoods. I refer, of course, San Sebastian .
Three days after the luxuries of Olla de San Antón (family party), January 20, Granada held a "feast for young and young" in honor of San Sebastian.
"San Antón, remove the old sun-San Sebastián The girls out for a walk ..."
There was the singer of the people
We witness the scope of these celebrations , in neighborhoods such as Albaycín, thanks to the reflected in the ancient annals Papers Cart San Pedro, where Mariano Cruz Romero, in his Ritual Albaycinera Kitchen, "with skill and picturesqueness enlightens us how sporting our young ancestors: I mean, our parents and grandparents.
In this treatise we are told, by way of festival program, the words of Don José Surroca, in Granada and Customs -1921 - "San Sebastian takes the chicks for a walk, for afternoon picnic with rocking, dancing and songs to the accompaniment of guitars and mandolins that played the couple or friends of the maidens. "
In short, a return to repeat the swing or rocking of San Anton in the Washer of Cartuja, but this time for young people (aged maidens and lads of merit). Do not waste time with tools, pots and casseroles complicated. It snacking by foods easy to prepare, because the greatest interest was in other intentions. The basis of this meal was the pork grateful: Head, sausage, black pudding, butter and drippings. The best sausage thick, it stays juicy. In some specialized sales, this sausage as he rolled in brown paper dipped in water and poured on the fire to roast. Also brawn, finely chopped and not wearing fur.
"Venta del Loro" by Juan Muñoz, 1982
In those days, first century XX, the busiest sales this holiday season were those of Uncle Michael, the Tasca three and a half, Cuevecilla, Casa de la Pastora ..., being the last to survive the Sale of the Parrot and The Fly. The custom in all these sales was to ask " a pot tapaera " consisting of a glass of wine with black pudding, sausage, and brawn.
The rocking were placed wherever there was a good tree on lawns, walks, malls, cármenes and sales, while young people brings out the old songs and lighthearted spicy characteristic of the saint's feast:
"The girl who sways
and did not scream,
is because it is dirty
The calves"
" In the olive groves,
girl, I hope,
with a jug of wine
and homemade bread "
" At meceores
I have to í
to give me air
in the bunting "
" At albaycineros
not I bear water,
because mustache
break the jar "
