"Badis 
            is a town built on the Mediterranean. The Spanish call it Velez de 
            la Gomera. It has about 600 homes. Some of our historians say it was 
            built by Africans, others think it was built by the Goths. Regardless, 
            it is built between two high mountains, near a big valley which turns 
            into a river when it rains." (Leo, 274)
