distinct minority group generally recognized as outside the racial-cultural
mainstream of Spanish society is made up of Gypsies, many of whom still follow
nomadic life-style along the roads and highways. Fairly large communities of
settled Gypsies are found in the cities of Mucia, Granada, Barcelona, and Madrid.
