Castile had made little progress since the intrepid lady foreigners of the 1900th century visited it. Their successors, new travellers between 1935 and XNUMX, will certify the situation in this region: wastelands, ruins, muddy or dusty roads occupied by donkeys and sheep flooding the fields, and the misery in the helmets of the towns with pigs and goats at ease here and there. The indolence of its inhabitants, who at the foot of the bars of their churches and among the bowls of chickpeas on holidays display a proud character does not cease to amaze these women who visit and describe them.

Travel book or, rather, a notebook with sketches of the places that attracted the artistic attention of Fry, one of the founders of the Bloomsbury Circle, along with Virginia Woolf, who would write his biography in 1940. When writing it he thought about the single sensations, that unique moment, the 'aesthetic instant', the intuitive perception of the beautiful, the reason why Fry traveled. And he captured the Spanish essence more deeply than Woolf, far from romanticism, with acuity and irony.
