About this book

From Paris the route goes through Tours and Bordeaux to Bayonne, over the Bidassoa at Irun, then with mules to Burgos, where the cathedral and the Cid's coffer are described. Madrid chapters cover bull-fights, the Prado, coffee-houses, the Escurial and an excursion to Toledo. Théophile Gautier then travels to Granada, with the Alhambra and the Generalife, and to Malaga, before the road through Ecija and Cordova toward Seville. This English edition of 1853 has numerous engravings.
