Excerpt from Winter Tour in Spain There are but two classes of travellers to be met with in Spain; those who go there for climate, and those who go for pleasure, and even of these the number is very limited. None flock here, as they do to most other European countries, for education or economy; these are two objects as yet unattainable. Neither invalids nor tourists, however, will be disappointed, for they will each meet with what they seek. The climate in the south and along the east coast of Spain is magnificent; the scenery and objects of interest throughout the country must fulfil the expectations of all. But climate is not everything to those who, on account of health, are driven from their own country, though it may appear to be, and is, the main object. There are many drawbacks to contend with in encountering a winter in Spain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Family Tour Round the Coasts of Spain and Portugal: During the Winter of 1860-1861 Having determined to spend the winter in the south of Europe, after many interesting debates and conversations we decided that the south of Spain should be our destination. We had pre viously spent several winters at Nice and its neighbourhood, and we saw by the railway guides that it was now as easy to reach Barcelona by Perpignan as to go to Nice by Toulon.

Excerpt from A Little Journey to Spain and Portugal Across the Pyrenees from France lies the most romantic country of Europe. Spain is a land of music and dance; of gypsies and beggars; of beautiful darkeyed women and grave, proud men; of ruined castles and deserted palaces; and of ancient walled towns and cities dying or dead. We are warned that we shall meet with many discomforts in our tour of Spain. The questions are asked Will Americans be kindly received since the late war? Will not the Spaniards show bitterness over their loss of Cuba, Porto Rica, and the Philippines? The Spaniards are far too courteous to show hostility to any guest. Besides, they feel better off without their island colonies. Cuba and the Philippines had for years been draining Spain of men and money to keep down rebellions and giving little in return. Peace has brought Spain a chance to build up her broken fortunes, pay her debts, and develop her resources, for, although the country has mines rich with minerals, a fertile soil, a fine climate, and fifteen hundred miles of seaboard, it is poor, in debt, and one hundred years behind the rest of Europe in its industries. This backward state is due to bad government, mistakes made in the far past, and the ignorance and superstition of the people, who like to idle and sleep when they should be at work.

Excerpt from Lazy Tours: In Spain and Elsewhere Biarritz the beautiful! No wonder the Empress Eugenie built her villa there in the days of her glory. Part of that Villa is a restaurant now, and looks like a banquet hall deserted, or it did in the late October when the Biarritz season was coming to an end; but there is hardly a more superb View in Europe than can be seen from its windows. Biarritz, like Tours, is a place to go back to; but we had little time to linger there. Were we not en route for Spain, the country of beauty and of bandits, of love and of fear?

Excerpt from Heroic Spain Thirty kilos, about sixty-six pounds, are al lowed free in the luggage van, but for an exten sive tour it is better to send trunks ahead by some agency, and travel with only the valises taken with you in the carriage. These the mozo, or porter, carries directly from the train to the hotel omni bus, which another good custom of the country is always in waiting, no matter at what hour the arrival. First class travel in Spain is about the same as second class elsewhere; second class is like third class in France, except on the express route from Paris to Madrid, and in Catalonia, where second class is comfortable.

Excerpt from Four Months Afoot in Spain Home, may seem almost to call for apology. If so, it is hereby duly tendered. What befell me on this vacation jaunt is no story of harrowing adventure, nor yet a record of the acquisition of new facts. But as I covered a thousand miles of the Iberian peninsula on foot, twice that distance Iby third-class rail, and am given to mingling with the masses, it may be that there have filtered into the following pages some facts and impressions that will be new to the reader. Yet it is less to record these that I have written, than to answer a question that has often been put to me since my return.

Excerpt from Across the Country of the Little King: A Trip Through Spain The number of tourists availing themselves of the Southern or Mediterranean route is annually increasing. Many, taking advantage of the stop over privilege, land at Gibraltar and have a hurried but fairly satisfactory glimpse of Tan gier, Seville and Granada, While a goodly number leave the steamer at that port and pass by the route herein portrayed to the northern frontier, a journey of surpassing interest. The student or specialist may find the available literature on the subject satisfactory, but, to the ordinary traveller, Ford, Murray and O'shea are cumbersome, heavy and profuse. While not offered as a Guide-book, it is felt this modest volume will prove a pleasant and useful companion along the way, touching upon all the sights the bird of passage will care to see.
