Source text (please read only from this text!): https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/40201Written in 1912, Hartley’s account of her travels in Spain discusses the fascinating country and its people. She dedicates a section to each major city, as well as showing the reader country life. After a chapter on Spanish art, she finishes up with a discussion of the spirit of the Spaniard and what it says about the future of the country. (Summary by Verla Viera)
