Description

Originally published in 1832, this book blends travel writing, historical narrative, and legend as Washington Irving shares his experiences while living in Spain's Alhambra Palace. He weaves tales of Moorish kings, enchanted gardens, and mysterious legends surrounding the majestic fortress. Irving's work captures both the rich history and the romance of Andalusia, making it a timeless reflection of Spain's cultural heritage.

Washington Irving (1783-1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer and historian of the early 19th century. Best known for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," Irving served as the U.S. minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846 and wrote several histories of 15th-century Spain dealing with Christopher Columbus, the Moors, and the Alhambra.
