In 'South from Granada', Gerald Brenan describes the essence of a remote rural area before the Spanish Civil War with vivid sympathy. The book explores the festivals and folklore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, the village customs, superstitions and characters. It also includes chapters on Granada in the twenties, food and the Phoenicians, the cheap brothels and archaeological remains of Almeria, the stark but haunting mountain scenery and even a visit from Virginia Woolf. In short, it is a classic, richly evocative account of a lost way of life.
Edward FitzGerald "Gerald" Brenan, CBE, MC was a British writer and hispanist who spent much of his life in Spain.
