How would you explain the Spanish phrase in the context? Dear Leandro, here is the note you won’t read because you can’t read. The pocket watch is in the jar in the cabinet, with the clay Pilzintecutli. It’s a gift to find next year when you have to make the rosca with no sergente to help mix the flour. The watch is gold, maybe you can take it to monte de piedad and get money for your family. Or keep it to remind you of the pest who is gone. How would you explain the Spanish phrase in the second to last sentence: monte de piedad? Thanks!

I think here it means the pawnshop. A pawnshop is a shop where you can get money for expensive items. They money is a sort of loan. If you bring back the money before a certain time period, you can get the item, the watch, back. If not, if you are too late, the shop owner keeps the watch. Literally it means mountain of pity. By the way, you would better ask these questions in the Spanish section. I just know English and Spanish by coincidence, and tumbled over your question. But most won;t here.
