Marine terms relating to wind, although they are also used in weather, geomorphology, hunting, aerodynamic energy and other areas. Regarding a place or position, windward is the part where the wind comes from (facing the wind) and leeward the directional zone to which the wind is headed.

Popular expression that emphasizes tontez; it would be a perfectly silly fool. The expression brings us back to the time in our history when the Holy Inquisition made her own.

The capirote, which in some places also call coroza, capuz or capirucho, is now used by some brotherhoods and penitents in the Easter processions.

  
el choricero de la corte
  12

This appellation was applied to two distinct characters in the reign of Charles IV. The people of Madrid named Godoy, prime minister and favorite of the king and above all, according to the bad tongues, of the queen. Apparently, also because he was from Extremadura, where there are good chorizos. Hated by the people, he was dismissed after the Mutiny of Aranjuez. The latest studies seem to be rehabilitative. The other Choricero was the Eric Uncle of Candelario (Salamanca) whom the king named "supplier of the royal house" when he was casually found on a day of hunting. The sausages of Candelario were then recognized in the Court and throughout Madrid.

The pluscuamperfect (more than perfect) is a preterite verbal time that indicates that the action has already ended but not only with regard to the present but in relation to another action or past situation; therefore refers us to two moments, both past with regard to the present.
