THE BIG BALL OF SNOW.

I remember very well. I was a baby boy. 6 or 7 rings. It was in the winter of 57. The case is that one day fell Nevazo tremendous. Was not never seen anything like it and since then ... not. Imagine, Armilla remained incommunicado for two or three days ... cut roads, rail tracks with a meter or more of snow on top. I remember the elderly with shovels in front of the doors, making ways to get out of the houses. For children was extraordinary. Almost festive. Everything was white and different and I still seem to feel that immense silence that gives the snow, which sound like muffled sounds, the dark and dirty ... and people cleared then a pretty picture seems very far away, Central cold countries. At night the "show" was even more impressive because Armilla streets, like all other peoples, are sparingly lit with a dim bulb in the corner of every street, so with the snow, the silence and darkness ... you can imagine!

What it reminded me more strongly, I think it was yesterday, was when a group of zagalones 14 or 15 years (also had, I remember, some older) they decided to make a snowball. The train started up there in front of the headquarters of aviation. Then they began to shoot down the road. Then the ball grew and grew. It was a huge area that increasingly larger and larger running was done on the road. I remember running happily after the great white ball, to bequeath to the corner of Granada, splat!, Crashed and jumped into a thousand pieces cold.

The fact noted in all Armilla and I'm sure more than one reading these lines, remember that. From that giant ball growing faster than me, now and despite giving away the years, I see again down the road, turning imposing.

Look, this story, remember the fact that time has gotten me back to find the child that was me then. With this child we all have inside and now is here with me, watching, amazed and happy, the magic ball that rolls and rolls.

In homes estorbábamos. ("Go boy, go" pa out "to play!). Sometimes the girls played with trading cards in stride the door (the brass kept in small boxes of quince jelly and those with more valuable were those glitter or so-called "sleepers"). Before you flip the pups were cast chrome breath in the palm of your hand and do not see the ability of some little girls to "beat" the trading cards to friends.

ANTIQUE STORES, SHOPS AND BUSINESSES ARMILLA (I)

rather I grew up in Sierra Nevada, in the hills Pradollano ... My father was a pastor in the mountains ... and up to fourteen years I was with him in the pure forest. At 14 I came here to work with the nuns. A convent between now and next, in Ogíjares .. I tilled the garden, made Chapucillas different and, of course, also made them "lies." I was like "mandaero." Often come to shop here, so I will talk today about the shops and businesses Armilla at that time (the 50's and early 60)

those was a grocery store that we called the " Purico the country houses. "up there, where now are the jars that. In the store was selling a little of everything, as in the past in all such ventures. The husband went with a car along the road to Granada, the "mercao" of S. Augustine per fruit. It was also "Soria" of accoutrements to eat as the other in the real road to Motril. What a nice shopping! So familiar, where shopkeepers know the life and miracles of almost the entire parish. Stores that were social meeting point, with that whiff so special, with brown slip of paper to do the math with a pencil hooked to a cord-or placed in the ear, not lose it. And there in one hand bags kidney beans, chickpeas, flour, lentils ... (Then came the work of removing the stones and the "coconut", which was a black bichillos, these lentils, hearing, afternoon, serials, the "Love Rosa "or" Simply Maria "). And do not forget ... when you bought me as well, something in bulk, you always cast "the Mandaic" which was more about what puñaíllo purchased (flour, rice or whatever).

store was also Antonio "Chango" there, along with tight now ... which also sold bulk coffee, garlic, bay leaf, spices, sweet shortcakes, cornicabra peppers, bacon, sausage , sausage, cod of these large, open a map, potting soil, coal and lapilli, ceramics, flour, and why not! those round wooden boxes herring, well placed, as a circle of silver. Buy one or two. You put them on a sheet of brown paper fat I had with the jam, a good hook. Then he took the fish dry, and the doorway it is bruised or pounded on the table. I wouldst a good herring with a piece of bread, a tomato opened with salt, wine vasillo and I knew as the best food in the world .. but then .... All afternoon the "joias" pilchards for water! They were good, "Chambers" the damn!

I remember now Trini "The Morenilla." Behind the school San Miguel. She lived up and was down your local. It was a store that was like a "Dragstore" .... because those run in continuous time. So Sunday we went to for things "Go, Morenilla sorry to bother you, see if you fall, I'm turning white and I ran out of lime. If you do me the favor to sell me a bag of pasta. "And she was always helpful and friendly throughout, went ... never said no" That other woman!, Which now "mismico" low!. Do not worry "." There he began selling lime, paint brushes, which made her homemade soap, candles and even eggs from hens that had there back in a little courtyard. Later the business was flourish: then appeared brushes, assorted paints, bleaches, nails and nails, straw hats for the field, strings, laces, the shoes of those of homespun cloth, bedding, games terry loops, needles, embroidery racks, aprons, pajamas and thimbles, buttons, wool, fine wire, toys for good .... Reyes "to of everything". To say it looked like the "Corte Ingles! But boy, yes .. About five years ago that took the shop .. and now his daughter, on the road has other business Thursday. But otherwise ... clear.

ANTIQUE STORES, SHOPS AND BUSINESSES ARMILLA (II)

Cortijillo

By John the postman was . He took the letters from the tram and then distributed them or going there for them .. Below was the first tight that he had here in Armilla. It was tight " girl." Rolling snuff, lighters tinder these yellow and of course, cigarette packs: "Corruco "" Perfect, "Celts" ...
front of the Three Crosses was "Julius butcher the shores of Yoli's florist was now the one hand clothes shop telling him" The Fat of the cloth " and the other the shoemaker Pepe "El Chango" (brother of another of the store from which I spoke of earlier). repairing shoes, boots, heels, soles tapas .. ... is that then the shoes, when they broke, not throwing as far ( Well, with the crisis now things are changing.) When they broke it again and again recosían as new.

For that quarter was also was "phones." A counter, a counter and behind that mess of holes and cables, and plugs. Sometimes to speak at Madrid conference hours that you were throwing the "delay." They also put the telegrams (those blue confetti when you took them to your house and if it was not your saint or had a child, smelled like bad news and gave as fear or "creepy." I do not know. Me at least I passed)

fish is sold with a donkey. It was very fresh. Motril. Along the street were also the "blanqueaores" to live loudly offered to paint the walls and prickly pears, and figs of Isabel (whites and blacks ") who came in his cheek, wrapped in fig leaves. I still remember the cry:" isabeleeeeesss figs, freasquitooooos and fat "Ms.

The angels had a massacre, like Ms Teresa . (Relimpio facilities and where the various products offered as a still life, such was the love and care to be placed on the marble). In the streets of Granada was the dairy "Joaquín el de la Genara" where people went to their Cantarilla for milk. Others were also sold milk Lola and Alexander, there the square the Meadows. They had cows, rabbits, chickens, pigs and even a great and beautiful peacock when he opened his huge tail was like a rainbow illuminating everything.


There were two ovens , a way of Thursday, that of Ramoncillo, and the other the Eugene it still works. It was a loaf of those big, tight crumb, or rich, which is then distributed around town with a cart pulled by a mule. We had

"bodegas Gum" and "Still Life Enriquito or" , your business is actually called "Bodegas Alonso" and where the wine cwt sold for pages, half arroba ... etc. And speaking of bars had the " Bar Branches", "The Kiki" hitting the tram shed, the Mercedes "The Caledonia" and others that I can not remember.

The pastry "Rosario, the Pepona" had cakes that were blessed glory and every day brought from Granada. Then in the evening, as at that time there were no refrigerators, so they are not brats, rather than on selling cheap. The waiters, when they came to see Graná girlfriends got together and bought three or four "a mop." Sometimes they are used to pay us the trusted other. Of course, the good woman never forgot to charge us. While the pastry Rosario put the first kiosk Armilla goodies (candy, sunflower seeds, chickpeas "Tostao, groundnuts, lupines - who called it" water-cunt "... etc). Nothing gominotas or goodies now been made with oil that will go you know.
In charge of the kiosk was at times a son of Ms. Rosario and other times the little grandson ... so he combined the two businesses. It was situated on the road to Motril, Granada street corner. One day a car coming from Motril took the kiosk in front ...¡¡¡ Luckily no one was inside!
