The principal among them, Toledo and Casaro, divide the town into four parts, and join in the chief square.

The streets, as we pass from one into another, present a peculiar appearance, filled with bustling crowds of people moving noisily to and fro.

In the Toledo Street all the tailors seem congregated together, for the shops on each side of the way are uniformly occupied by the votaries of this trade, who sit at work half in their houses and half in the street.

The coffee-houses and shops are all open, so that the passers-by can obtain a full view of the wares and of the buyers and sellers.
The regal palace is the handsomest in the town.

It contains a gothic chapel, richly decorated; the walls are entirely covered with paintings in mosaic, of which the drawings do not display remarkable taste, and the ceiling is over-crowded with decorations and arabesques.
