A Stranger in Spain

H.V. Morton

Published by Methuen, softcover, illustrated.

'The stranger who wishes to approach Spain with sympathy and appreciation,' H. V. Morton wrote, 'must do so through its history.' Thus, as he drives around the country, he reveals a rich tapestry of events, related with his inimitable humour, charm and sincerity.

The Spain of the Christian kings and the caliphs of Córdoba, of Philip II and the tragic Hapsburgs, the Spain of Columbus, of St Teresa, of Cortes and Pizarro, of Velázquez and Goya, is the thread upon which his narrative is strung.

This varied and enchanting book, now available in paper­back for the first time, reflects the thrill and unexpectedness of travel in a strange country. It will be enjoyed by all who intend to visit Spain as well as by those who prefer to travel at home.
