| Summary | "The Bible in Spain, Vol. 2" by George Borrow is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Borrow's adventurous journey through Spain as he endeavors to distribute the Scriptures across the country. The opening chapters introduce a mix of local color, encounters with unique characters, and challenges faced in a land steeped in tradition and superstition, highlighting the author's keen observations of culture and society. At the start of the text, Borrow arrives in Padron, contemplating a pilgrimage to Cape Finisterre to deliver the Gospel. He seeks a guide and faces obstacles as his originally appointed guide fails to fulfill his promise, leaving Borrow in an unpleasant situation. Eventually, he is reluctantly thrust into the company of an odd character serving as a new guide, revealing the unpredictable nature of his travels. As they embark through rugged terrains, the reader is drawn into a vivid portrayal of the landscape and the eccentricities of those Borrow encounters along the way.
