- & combining solid
...

This title takes you into the heart of southern Spain by uncovering the delights of these three Andalucian jewels. It takes in the greatest Gothic cathedral in the world, La Giralda, in Seville; watches the passionate flamenco dancers while dining on a selection of tapas; explores the Great Mosque & medieval quarters of spiritual Cordoba; & marvels at the extraordinary, verdant Alhambra palace in Granada & the spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada, beyond. ' Seville may be Spain's fourth largest city, but it is a place where you can pick oranges from the trees & see open countryside from the centre of town. Come in spring if you can, when the gardens are drowned in birdsong & the air becomes intoxicating with the scent of jasmine & a hundred other blooms.' ...

Yearning for a change, Steven Nightingale took his family to live in the ancient Andalucian city of Granada. But as he journeyed through its hidden courtyards, scented gardens & sun-warmed plazas, Steven discovered that Granada`s present cannot be separated from its past, & began an eight-year quest to discover more. Where once Christians, Muslims & Jews lived peacefully together & the arts & sciences flourished, Granada also witnessed brutality: places of worship razed to the ground, books burned, massacre & anarchy. In the 1600s the once-populous city was reduced to 6, 000 who lived among rubble. In the next three centuries, the deterioration worsened, & the city became a refuge for anarchists; then during the Spanish Civil War, fascism took hold. Literary & sensual, Steven Nightingale produces a portrait of a now-thriving city & the joy he discovered there, revealing the resilience & kindness of its people, the resonance of its gardens & architecture & the cyclical nature of darkness & light in the history of Andalucia. At once personal & far-reaching, Granada is an epic journey through the soul of this most iconic of cities. ...
