scenery. The passes through the mountains are
frequently no more than two feet in breadth, and
resemble a hollow gallery, open to the sky. The
traveller shudders in passing along these tremen-
dous fissures, which are filled with mud; while
at the same time their obscurity is increased by
the thick vegetation, which, hanging down from
above, covers the opening. The quebradas are
immense rents breaking through the whole chain
of the mountains and forming vast abysses suffi-
cient in size to swallow up an ordinary mountain.
It is here that the eye of tire terrified traveller can
best comprehend the gigantic magnificence of the

About the middle of the twelfth century, Da-

the privileges which it thus obtained were con-
firmed by Malcolm II. In the wars of subse-
quent times, it was more than once the object of
bloody contention between the loyalists and the
malcontents; and at the commencement of the
Reformation it suffered its full share in the vio-
lences which were committed.

villages of mountaineers; pastures covered with
llamas and sheep; orchards bordered with quick-
set hedges and luxuriant and highly cultivated
cornfields, occupying a station suspended as it

traveller can hardly bring himself to believe that
this habitable region is higher above the sea than
the summit of the Pyrenees.

The cathedral, which was once the glory of the
city, is now a ruin. It is said to have been not
less than 157 years in building, but was nearly
destroyed in one day, the assailants leaving only
sufficient of it standing to indicate its former
magnitude and great antiquity. The remains
consist of part of the east and west ends, and of
the south side, together with the chapel of St.
Regulus, the entire body and great tower of
