A travelogue structured as a personal account, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative primarily explores the author’s long-held fascination with Spain, as he recounts his experiences traveling through various cities, interspersing autobiographical reflections throughout his journey. The opening of the work introduces readers to Howells' internal journey as he travels towards Granada, where he reflects on the intersection of his past and present. He expresses a deep, autobiographical desire to reconnect with the Spain of his boyhood imagination, often contrasting it with his contemporary observations. His nostalgia for the tales of the Moors, and the enchantment initially inspired by reading ''Don Quixote,'' serve as the backdrop to his reflections on identity and passion for Spanish culture. This lyrical beginning sets the tone for a rich exploration of both the landscapes and the complex history of Spain, merging personal longing with historical context as he travels through various regions, ultimately revealing his cherished perspective on the country.
