Description: "A book of discovery, in which the landscape of Spain, its history, and its people flow together, each explaining the other." "Mary Lee Settle, at the age of eighty-two, set off alone to find the Spain she thought she knew from guidebooks, from friends, and even from her own earlier trip there. But, like Columbus on another voyage of discovery, she found something - many things - that she hadn't even known she was looking for."--Jacket.
