San Roque (Cádiz, Andalusia) in the background Gibraltar.


The town of San Roque was the place where the population of Gibraltar had resided since 21 May 1706. The population of Gibraltar was invited to continue living under British rule after the siege by British troops. The peasants who refused settled in the surroundings of the Hermitage of San Roque and founded the current city of San Roque. They say that only 47 remained in Gibraltar.

A very special experience is the journey along the 5 km long tram route from Sóller station to Port de Sóller. In the historic tram cars, most of which date from the opening year 1913 and are lovingly cared for, you immediately feel transported back in time.

LETRA
Nadie en el tercio sabía
quién era aquel legionario
tan audaz y temerario
que a la legión se alistó

Nadie sabía su historia
mas la legión suponía
que un gran dolor le mordía
como un lobo el corazón

Mas si alguno quien era le preguntaba
con dolor y rudeza le contestaba

Soy un hombre a quien la suerte
hirió con zarpa de fiera
soy un novio de la muerte
que va a unirse en lazo fuerte
con tal leal compañera

Cuanto más duro era el fuego
y la pelea más fiera
defendiendo a su Bandera
el legionario avanzó

Y sin temor al empuje
del enemigo exaltado
supo morir como un bravo
y la enseña rescató

Y al regar con su sangre la tierra ardiente
murmuró el legionario con voz doliente

Soy un hombre a quien la suerte
hirió con zarpa de fiera
soy un novio de la muerte
que va a unirse en lazo fuerte
con tan leal compañera

Cuando al fin le recogieron
entre su pecho encontraron
una carta y un retrato
de una divina mujer

Y aquella carta decía
"... si algún día Dios te llama
para mí un puesto reclama
que a buscarte pronto iré".

Y en el último beso que le enviaba
su postrer despedida le consagraba

Por ir a tu lado a verte
mi más leal compañera
me hice novio de la muerte
la estreché con lazo fuerte
y su amor fue mi Bandera
