Santa Cruz is the first town of La Mancha, towards the Sierra Morena, and has nothing worthy of note. The streets are narrow and badly paved, and the houses, built of clay or of dirty coloured bricks, there being no stone in the neighbour- hood, are entered by a large court yard, round which are the stables and other out offices. The naturally unchearfui look of the town was now increased by the ravages of war, the French having recently des- o 4 troyed 200 troyed nearly one half of it, and the... des- cription my hosts gave nie of their own de- plorable situation and of the general misery, by no means tended to chase away the me- lancholy feelings inspired by this scene of wanton criiehy. The invaders, however, while they destroyed the houses of the de- fenceless inhabitants, had taken care to re- pair and garrison a castle close to the town. November 25. Early in the morning we resumed our journey towards Toledo by a very bad cross road, the roughness of which was however in some measure compensated by the beauty of the country, which pre- sented a series of luxuriant meadows, co- vered with the finest turf, watered by nu- merous rivulets, and clotted with clumps of majestic evergreen oaks, under which vast herds of cattle formerly sought shelter from the wind and rain in winter, and which doubtless in summer afforded them a shaded retreat 201 retreat from the ardour of the sun.
