Art/Shop/Eat
Somewhere between a 3 and a 4. It's hard to find good travel memoirs set in Spain! This one was slow getting started but I did love the author's interest in history and how past events seem so relevant to her when she visits places. I admire how she traveled alone in Spain, driving herself between cities, at age 82. Mary Lee Settle is best known as a historical novelist, writing about the Virginia and Appalachian frontier, so this seems a complete change of pace for her although she's also written a memoir about 2 years in Turkey.
Author has her favorite Spaniards from history & we follow them, visit the places most associated with them . . . St. Teresa of Avila, Juana the Queen who never ruled (daughter of Isabella), Goya, and Lorca. Isabella and Ferdinand, Christopher Columbus, and Charles I keep showing up, too -- modern Spain still a product of their times.
Most interesting chapter may have been on Tartessos, a pre-Roman city and even a possible candidate for inspiration of the Atlantis legend.
