The Hunt

This is one of the really weird things. They take up a sport that can only be played in Spain! I plan to have a plaque on the wall for this as there is a pub called the Royal Calpe which has fox hunt stuff on the walls in the pub. Victuallers (keskustelu) 5. marraskuuta 2012 kello 01.19 (EET)

Another weird detail is, that even though originally "... Garrison Chaplain .. imported a couple of fox-hounds - Rockwood and Ranter - to deal with the plague of foxes who were raiding the gardens and poultry sheds of the Rock families" then the Spanish source says (google-translated) "In times the foxes were scarce in the countryside when farmers the had almost eradicated them from the area, these animals were imported from Great Britain and were reintroduced to the farms visited by the Calpe". One day I may expand this about Larios. But, unlike en-wiki, fi-wiki does not favour blogspot pages as a reference. --Tappinen (keskustelu) 5. marraskuuta 2012 kello 01.50 (EET)
