This volume focuses on the rich history, art, and landscapes of the Andalusian region of Spain, a favorite destination for travelers seeking the allure of its culture and natural beauty. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in art history, as it combines both vivid illustrations and descriptive narratives to create an immersive experience. The opening of the book sets the scene in Cadiz, portraying it as a picturesque city with a vibrant ambiance and a storied past. Calvert artfully contrasts Cadiz's kinetic present with its ancient origins, discussing its historical significance as one of the first cities in Spain, inhabited by Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors, among others.
