Rosina,

The scallop shell is also associated with Venus. I have a hunch that this is the
origin of the Spanish term.
I apologize that this response is so long after your original message. I am
still going through the 600 messaages that I found waiting for me on my return
from Portugal. I have about 150 left.

regards,

Bob Spenger
