At the end of four and twenty hours they saw daylight again; but their canoe was dashed to pieces against the rocks. They were obliged to creep along, from rock to rock, for the space of a league, till at length a spacious plain presented itself to their sight. This place was bounded by a chain of inaccessible mountains. The country appeared cultivated equally for pleasure and to produce the necessaries of life. The useful and agreeable were here equally blended. The roads were covered, or rather adorned, with carriages formed of glittering materials, in which were men and women of a surprising beauty, drawn with great rapidity by red sheep of a very large size; which far surpassed the finest coursers of Andalusian Tetuan, or Mecquinez.
Al cabo de veinte y quatro horas viéron otra vez la luz; pero la canoa se hizo añicos en los baxíos, y tuviéron que andar á gatas de uno en otro peñasco una legua entera: finalmente avistáron un inmenso horizonte cercado de inaccesibles montañas. Todo el pais estaba cultivado no ménos para recrear el gusto que para satisfacer las necesidades; en todas paftes lo útil se maridaba con lo agradable; víanse los caminos reales cubiertos, ó por mejor decir ornados de carruages deforma elegante y luciente materia, y dentro mugeres y hombres de peregrina hermosura: tiraban con raudo paso de estos carruages unos avultados carneros encarnados, muy mas ligeros que los mejores caballos de Andalucía, Tetuan y Mequinez.
