Targeted at both intrepid travellers and 'readers at home', this
two-volume account of Spanish history, topography and culture by
Richard Ford (1796 1858) combines the rigour of a gazetteer with
the humour and pace of a private travel diary. First published in
1845, as part of John Murray's series of guidebooks, the work made
an immediate impact upon the reading public, and it was celebrated
in the press as the 'most comprehensive and accurate account of
that country' hitherto produced. Starting in the Kingdom of Leon,
and again using a series of hand-picked routes, Volume 2 leads
readers to the pilgrim shrine of Santiago de Compostela and through
Galicia and the Basque provinces, introducing them to castles,
universities, art collections and the 'inhospitality of Madrid'.
The result is an engaging account that will be of interest to
modern tourists and historians alike.
