    Some of them sell pins, studs, brooches, fans or tin cans.
    They make some of these articles themselves. They sell flowers, which they make of paper, too They usually travel in bands, sometimes there are four or five families together, and when they fight, the police or the civic guards chase them away somewhere else.
