=Ventera.= (Ven-tay´-rah.) The woman who keeps an inn. The =venta=
(ven´-tah) in Spain is a poor tavern by the wayside, not so good as the
=posada= (po-sah´-dah) and far inferior to the hotel.
=Vigo.= (Vee´-go.) A seaport of Galicia.
=Virgen.= (Veer´-hen.)
Virgin. The Madonna of Saragossa is known as Virgin del Pilar.
=Xarifa.= (Xah-ree´-fah.)
Xarifa is a Moorish name for a woman. It is used with fine musical
effect in Lockhart’s ballad =The Bridal of Andalla=. There is nothing
better than Lockhart’s =Spanish Ballads= to fill one’s mind with the
romance of Spain.
=Zinga.= (Zin´-gah.) A general name for gypsies in Spain is =Zingari=
(Zin´-gah-e). In this story, Zinga is the name of a gypsy-girl.
