Spain: A Study
Excerpt from A Study
At first sight it will doubtless strike many readers that I give ridiculously small space - one chapter - to Andalusia. I am aware that in doing so I am running counter to the general opinion that regards the South as the most interesting part of Spain; and I have given my reasons at some length elsewhere. Here I would only ex plain that the book is written on existing monu ments, not on those that once existed or are said to have existed; and, this being the case, I cannot give much space to the half-dozen buildings which, transformed to a great extent by restorations, are all the Moslems left on Spanish soil.
