The 'noble and ancient city' San Cristobal de la Laguna was founded on June 26, 1495, St. Christopher's Day, by De Lugo, who lies buried in the San Miguel side-chapel of La Concepcion de la Victorias. The site is an ancient lava-current, the successor of a far older crater, originally submarine.
He follows the Spanish tradition for restraint for there is one, along its opposite tradition for grandiloquence and, true to the spirit of it, he seeks the maximum of effect through the minimum of means. Then, he never shouts. Miguel de Unamuno is to-day the greatest literary figure of Spain.

"I thought, as I looked at her, it was lucky for Rube she hadn't a rifle in her hand; she'd have shot him if she had been hung for it a minute afterward. We rode on to San Miguel, took Colonel Cabra prisoner, with his papers, and sent him back under an escort.
