Through Spain to the Sahara

A travel narrative recounts journeys across Spain into North Africa, blending vivid scene-setting with attentive cultural observation. The account moves between cities, galleries, and ruins—Madrid, Toledo, Córdoba, the Alhambra and coastal ports—then continues into Algeria and Saharan borderlands, noting architecture, art, local costumes, and daily customs. Chapters alternate museum and street-level description with encounters among peasants, gipsies, clergy, and nomads, and include reflections on climate, health, travel practicalities, and hospitality. The work mixes anecdote and historical sketch to portray landscapes, social manners, and artistic heritage encountered on the route.
