Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over the Pyrenees Into SpainThe Spanish nation is professedly devote; they forget while professing themselves Chris tians, that hospitality is especially inculcated by Christ, and Heaven itself held out as its reward I was a stranger, and ye took me in.' All, therefore, that this little volume can claim is to be a lively narrative of the scenes I passed through, and the people I met. If it meet from a discerning public as kind and generous a reception as its predecessor, I hope, ere long, to be once more a candidate for equal favour; and meanwhile, I meekly fold my arms, curtsey down to the very ground to the audience in pit and boxes, in grateful thanks for their favour, and hope the gods - i.e. The critics in the gallery - won't hiss me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the High Pyrenees: With Illustrations and Supplementary Sections This volume is the fruit of two holidays spent by us in the more remote parts of the French and Spanish Pyrenees and in the Republic of Andorra in the summers of 1896 and 1897. The division of labour between us in the production of the hook is stated on the title-page, and it only needs to he added here that while we have consulted together regarding all parts of the work, each of us is solely responsible for those parts which bear his name. The wild and beautiful district which we have attempted to describe and illustrate has lately been strangely neglected by British tourists and climbers. When two years ago we first turned our attention to the Pyrenees we found few who could give us any detailed information or advice. Packe's "Guide" was out of print, and it was only after some trouble that we succeeded in obtaining a secondhand copy. Almost at random we planned our first tour, determining vaguely to traverse the chain from east to west, keeping as far as possible in the high mountains throughout.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Ways and by-Ways: With a Glimpse of the Pyrenees I love the South. The people there are lazy, - true; they are shiftless, - yes; they are immoral, - let us admit it; there is dirt and decay in the place of cleanliness and growth, stagnation where there should be progress! Well, in spite of all these dreadful things, I love the southern lands. Why? I hardly know. Perhaps I have a sneaking sympathy for laziness, and immorality, and dirt, and decay. Some of us need to learn how to be idle gracefully. The Andalusians will, I am sure, teach such a lesson in a most unconscious way to any wayfarer who happens along. The Salon was about to close; Paris was becoming dull, comparatively speaking; it happens to the best of Americans to get tired of Paris sometimes. We had "done" the town quite thoroughly. (I have heard of a tourist who said, "We done Rome, when we was there before.") What had we seen? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romantic Roussillon: In the French Pyrenees The other end of the Pyrenees on the Bay of Biscay suggested cold winds and gilded casinos and golf: Whereas away where the mountain wall peters out into the Mediterranean the little fishing towns and villages had unfamiliar names, vision names such as Port Vendres and over into Spain, Rosas, on the Bay of Rosas; names with the sun in them. One guessed at crumbling walls round the towns, at look-out towers and castles on the hills. It was Clearly a country left to itself, where a rhythmic tenor of life would carry on from century to century, and the people and the land suffice for each other. Up against the Pyrenees, a mere fringe of France, it would if anything get Spain into its blood: and Spain stands for a sort of enchantment. For the rest, one thought of it as light and shimmering in heat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Pyrenees to the Pillars of Hercules, Observations on Spain, Its History and Its People Books of travel can claim little originality so far as they state facts. These are not manufactured, but gathered from all sources at command, from history, from oral communications, and not least from guide-books. We wish to acknowledge our obligations to Ford's Book on Spain, which is one of the most thorough and reliable books on that country, and a most complete guide to the traveler. We have not scrupled to use the facts collated by him with the utmost freedom. It may be asked why should any one presume to write a book on a subject so often treated by others. The answer is that no two persons are apt to notice precisely the same objects in traveling, or if they do, they see them with different degrees of interest and in different combinations. One traveler may notice natural objects, the geography and topography of the country. He many be fond nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pyrenees If I have admitted such petty details as the times of trains, and the cost of a journey from London, it is because I have found those petty details to be of the first importance to myself, as indeed they must be to all those who have but little leisure. I have in everything attempted to set down only that which would be really useful to a man on foot or driving in that country, and only that which he could not easily obtain in other books. Thus I have carefully set down directions as minute as possible for finding particular crossings and camping grounds, for the finding of which the ordinary Guide Book is of no service. My chief regret is that the book will necessarily be too bulky to carry in the pocket; for it is meant to be not so much a lively as an accurate companion to the general exploration of those high hills which have given me so much delight.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in the Pyrenees: Including Andorra and the Coast From Barcelona to Carcassonne The Atlantic Pyrenees from St. Jean de Luz to Luchon have long been known to the English traveller. But how few know anything of the Eastern Pyrenees, whose valleys run down to replenish the inland sea! Even Monsieur Taine, who travels in the Pyrenees and could compress a book into a sentence, had nothing to say about them. Yet this country, with its superb climate and historic associations, is worthy of a wider fame. How well I remember my own first introduction to it a lustrum ago! It was early in April, and I was returning homewards from the East. Our English summer was yet a long way off, and I was invited to stay at "Vernet in the Pyrenees." I had never heard of Vernet, but I was told that I should get there if I took the night train from Marseilles, and with this comforting assurance I went to sleep. But at Narbonne I was hastily turned out upon a cold platform, and the train went flying through the night across France to Bordeaux and Toulouse. And yet again at Perpignan, whose fame had never reached my ears, I was dropped by the wayside, for it seemed that this train was bound for Spain. It was not till the dawn had come that I was able to resume my troubled journey to Vernet-les-Bains. The train now seemed to leave the open seacoast and turn up a wide plain with hills upon either side; and there, right above me, rose into the cloudless sky the most wonderful snow-mountain, glistening with radiance in the bright morning light. Surely had I never seen anything more beautiful than this! It might have been Olympus himself, it rose so majestically above the plain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in Spain There are many ways of making a tour in Spain. Of these, the one which is usually chosen is the comfortable tour, which takes the traveller by the main line of railway to Madrid, showing him the cathedral of Burgos and the palace of the Escorial on the way, and which carries him on to Toledo, Cordova, Seville, and Granada, almost all places which may be visited and sojourned at with little more of difficulty or of discomfort than is to be met with between London and Paris. The traveller who follows this route generally declines spending his time in stopping at the smaller stations, even though they may be directly on his way; he is content with seing what he has been told is the cream of Spain.
