Yet often the streets seem deserted. Only the companies of beggar children, who clamour 97 Things Seen in Spain incessantly around you with their strange cry, " Un caukie sou ! Un caukie sou !'" remind you of the life hidden in the sleeping city. Romance lives in Toledo. How many scenes and how many figures famous in Spain's history are recalled to our memory here. In no other city are there the same number of architec- tural monuments. It is the chief centre of the two great elements of Spanis...h civiliza- tion, the Christian and the Arab, which makes it the place where the native art can best be studied. Its cathedral and churches are furnished with the most perfect examples of the industrial arts that have been pro- duced in the Peninsula. El Greco, who adopted Toledo as his home, expresses in his pictures, which are one of the great posses- sions of the city, the Toledan spirit, which is the spirit of Spain. The churches are the museums and picture-galleries of the city; each one has its special appeal — its precious mosaics, its ironwork, its glass windows, its cloisters, its tombs, its beautiful carvings, or its pictures.
