The fact of the matter was that some men were taking above six hundred pigs to sell at a fair, and were on their way with them at that hour, and so great was the noise they made and their grunting and blowing, that they deafened the ears of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and they could not make out what it was.
Es, pues, el caso que llevaban unos hombres a vender a una feria más de seiscientos puercos, con los cuales caminaban a aquellas horas, y era tanto el ruido que llevaban y el gruñir y el bufar, que ensordecieron los oídos de don Quijote y de Sancho, que no advirtieron lo que ser podía.
