In 1840, French novelist Theophile Gautier was hired by the journal
"La Presse" to write regular installments of a travelogue of his
journey to and around Spain. Gautier recorded his experiences and
impressions and the result was the 1845 book "Voyage en Espagne" -
later translated into English as "A Romantic in Spain". For
Gautier, Spain promised the allure of an exotic and passionate
culture; it was a revelation, he said later, like discovering his
true home, the native land of his spirit. Gautier covered the olive
groves of Andalucia, the vibrant street life of Madrid, the central
plains of La Mancha, and the Moorish buildings of Seville and
Cordoba. Gautier, travelling by mule, carriage, or wagon, came into
contact with a rich panoply of people and places. Gautier reveals a
Spain in transition, emerging from civil war and a feudal past into
the modern world.
