A selection of souvenirs Catalá July.
was many and varied crafts and tasks of this exceptional human being, always conducted with the utmost honesty and integrity. Then try to collect any of them (for surely that I forget more than one):
- "Manuel the sheriff" was responsible of the cell, a small room with a mattress in a sill and a window that overlooked the Calle Real. In this prison as "sui generis", where from time to time be entered to a "criminal" (people who normally disturbed the public order with little mischief, or even violated laws ancient dark age, as the "law of dangerousness social "). Manolo was the one who brought them coffee, food (meats prepared at home) or let them out to sun patio ("come on, jump in the sun for a while," foo ", but do not go away," eh?).
- "Manuel the sheriff" which was read water meters located in the stables and corrals of the home. I remember that in this task never lacked a joke, a joke with the residents of the house that always received with pleasure as his affable character. Is important to note that, after this first task, then made the receipts by hand, in his own handwriting, to later move to cash.

- At parties and celebrations I remember the plots, surrounded by urchins, balloons rising into the sky and "puppets" (paper lanterns, with a small flame inside that rose up to burn up there in heights)
- Manager to measure the fifth in the conference room of City Hall, was famous tap that gave each of them in the head with the wooden locker that was used for this purpose, which always caused laughter and jokes of zagalones (I specifically measured in the 69).
- No "Manuel the sheriff", no "Rosario de la Aurora", so there he was. Time. At five in the morning. Responsible for organizing and directing "Campanilleros" through the streets of Armilla.
- The keys to the cemetery were well guarded at home, so if someone wanted to go to the cemetery, was a house of Manuel Sheriff "where you had to go first.
