"Monterey sits on the slope of a hill, with a blue bay below it and with a forest of tall dark pines at its back. The lower parts of the town are inhabited by americans, italians, catchers and canners of fish. But on the hill where the forest and the town intermingle, where the streets are innocent of asphalt and the corners free of streetlights, the old inhabitants of monterey are embattled as the ancient britons are embattled in wales. These are the paisanos." J.Steinbeck "Tortilla Flat"
