Spanish San Antonio fig

Any one knows about this fig ? I was told it produces a good breba crop & certainly a
Productive main crop. Both crops are delicious. Apparently both crops are said to ripen early. A
friend here offered me cuttings or a plant by year end.

Is this supposed to be a yellow fig that has a semi open eye that drips honey?

I ask because I was trying to find out info on a fig that was sold as "Spanish Yellow" that was probably sold around San Antonio.

Together with some other varieties cultivated mostly in Central  Western Spain this fig is described in detail on the Gov book

Thanks Lampo.Nelson send me info on this variety. Information is available in Pon's book.
This is a dark coloured fig. Interior is somewhat yellow. Unfortunately the information is in
Spanish and my Pon's English version book is in Malaysia. Just got to wait till April before
I get my book. Anyway, glad that this variety is here in Canada and my friend says I must
Have it. I like my breba's more than main crop.

Interesting. Is this Texas fig?  Anyone have photos? I can translate. 

I cannot wait until we get our english Pons books here in Texas.
