Western writer Drago�������s Following the Grass begins: High up among the Cantabrian foothills there is a paramera-a sealed valley. One enters and leaves it by a rocky trail that winds its way to the tim of the surrounding country by means of many tortuous grades. To the north, opposite the spot where the trail emerges from the valley, tower the grim, treeless, snowcapped Pyrenees-the great Basque barrier which armies and adventuring princes have assailed in vain.
