Well, today we need to travel to the deep Andalusia, the almost unknown, which still resists to leave customs and habits that are already history. The one who only lives from the countryside, from the sweat of her farmers, from the vineyard and the olive grove, from the real Andalusia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this case, we are going to return for moments to the romantic s. XIX, where banditry was somehow a way to fight against the concentration of power and money of a few, while the common people lived in misery, at first and that led to resistance to the Napoleonic invasion later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of those well-known bandits was Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda “El Tempranillo”. He was born in Jauja, which is a small village in Lucena (province of Cordoba), in the heart of Andalusia, and was very popular among his countrymen and later for the whole world, thanks to the writer Washington Irving, as the Andalusian Robin Hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
