Fairies de Norteamérica
Lorca had just been in New York. He began to write the poem there.
Pájaros de la Habana
that is his next stop; he finished the poem there
Jotos de México
We are still in the Americas...
Sarasas de Cádiz
Apios de Sevilla
Two cities in Andalusia
Cancos de Madrid
We move up from Seville to Madrid and then to
Flores de Alicante
Eastward to the Mediterranean coast
Adelaidas de Portugal
West again, this time to a country, not a city.
Overall, we have three slang terms from the Americas, four from Spain, and one from Portugal. All but one are from the Spanish / Luso world. Of course, the umbrella term covering them all is "marica."
