I very much enjoyed this as I read it during our first few days in Spain. Her style is lyrical, and Morris always has a sharp eye for detail and anecdote. The section on Toledo was a particular treat to read after our visit. But I must confess that, two weeks later, I don't remember another thing about it. Time to re-read?

While there were some generally interesting insights and accurate observations, the 40+ years since the book was written have altered Spain in important ways. Alas, not something I could use with my students.
