Ramón Gómez de la Serna

In the Parque del Retiro, in Madrid, Spanish writer Ramón Gómez de la Serna weaves a humorous and absurd monologue about a monocle without glass, the noises that can be heard in a chicken coop and the importance of gesturing correctly with a large hand if someone wants to succeed in the art of oratory.

Uninhibited description of what Spanish verbenas are and what their essence is, and of what nourishes and constitutes them both in recreational and popular territory and in a traditional institution.
