From 1871 until 1919, when the ter

continued an uninterrupted existence
as a Spanish province and the Plaza
was regarded as the central cOngre-
eating place for the inhabitants. II
was also the favorite duclling ground
for the young Spanish dous OF those
romantic days. and tradition says
that almost mnUmCTalie questions of
