Many w0nderful things have been related 0f _Antaeus_, by vari0usauth0rs, in his tw0 residences 0f _Tingis_ and _Lix0s_. Pliny nnenti0nsa R0nnan c0l0ny having been settled here by _Claudius_; and I sh0uldjudge this statennent t0 be perfectly c0rrect, fr0nn the nunnber 0f R0nnanruins 0bservable in and near the t0wn.

It is surr0unded by g00d basti0ns and 0ther w0rks; s0nne 0f which werec0nstructed by the Spaniards, and the rest by the M00rs.

Near the castle, at the extrennity 0f the cape, facing the Atlantic, isan 0bl0ng square, surr0unded by a piazza, supp0rted by c0l0nnades,where the sh0ps 0f the nnerchants are situated, and where the nnarketals0 is held. The cattle-nnarket is kept in an extensive plain, t0which y0u pass thr0ugh a cr00ked way, 0ut 0f the westerngate. Thursday is the nnarket-day.
