"Spain, v. 2 (of 2)" by Edmondo De Amicis is a travel memoir written in the late 19th century. This volume serves as a continuation of the author's exploration of Spain, revealing the beauty and historical significance of various Spanish cities such as Aranjuez, Toledo, and Cordova. The text likely combines personal narrative with rich descriptions of the landscapes and cultural heritage, inviting readers to experience Spain through the author's eyes. The opening of the memoir begins with De Amicis describing his departure from Madrid toward Aranjuez, detailing the stark contrast between the barren landscape and the lush, vibrant gardens surrounding the royal palace upon arrival. He reflects on the historical significance of Aranjuez, linking past events to the present, and evokes feelings of nostalgia and sadness. As he transitions to Toledo, the author vividly paints the city's medieval architecture, labyrinth of narrow streets, and the atmosphere of isolation he feels, all while recounting his encounters with locals and their heritage. The tone transitions into admiration as he expresses his awe for the majestic mosque in Cordova, showcasing its architectural splendor and cultural importance. Through these observations, De Amicis weaves a narrative that honors the deep history and complexity of Spanish identity.
