About This Book

A traveler's account surveys Spain and Gibraltar, mapping their landscapes, cities, and monuments while tracing layers of history left by successive peoples, from ancient settlers to Moorish rulers. It contrasts medieval Toledo's preserved atmosphere with Madrid's modern energy, guides readers through Seville's Alcázar and Granada's Alhambra, and describes the dramatic approach across the Pyrenees and the rocky Tagus gorge. Architectural survivals, cultural customs, and scenic variety are highlighted alongside suggestions for travelers and an invitation to experience the evocative, historically layered mood celebrated by earlier writers.
