Abstract
The article references the figure of the “serranas”(mountain women), females dedicated to diverse farming labors, low-class country women who usually live on hills and mountains. The “serranillas” are verses with refrains, made up of two parts: the first one describes an action while the second, in a shorter verse, may adopt a satirical meaning. They make reference to encounters between people of different social classes, a man and a woman —the serrana— who “helps” the traveling man, but always with the intention of taking sexual advantage from the encounter, in which she practically abuses the man, because serranas are not characterized by their beauty, but by their ugliness and roughness, in contrast to the city women’s femininity.
