«A peu per Andalusia» is Josep Maria Espinàs's travel book about Sierra Mágina, published by Edicions La Campana in paperback (296 pages, in Catalan).
The Catalan writer walks through the villages of Sierra Mágina, in Jaén, and portrays its inhabitants through conversations held during the journey: shepherds, day laborers, returned emigrants and other voices who offer their own self-portraits. The narrative moves away from Andalusian clichés and shows a region of olive groves and rugged mountains, setting of the frontier between Christians and Muslims, of the stories of the maquis in the postwar period and of the mystery of the faces of Bélmez.
It is the fifteenth travel book by Josep Maria Espinàs (Barcelona, 1927-2023). The subtitle of the book is «Sierra Mágina. La frontera cristiano-musulmana».
Recommended for readers of travel literature and for those who want to discover a rural Andalusia far from clichés, with ethnographic sensitivity and a close gaze.
Josep Maria Espinàs Massip was a Spanish writer, journalist and publisher known for his novels, travel writing and newspaper articles.
