Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook for Travellers in Spain, Vol. 1: Andalucia, Ronda and Granada, Murcia, Valencia, and Catalonia; The Portions Best Suited for the Invalid; A Winter Tour
However it may be the bounden duty of an honest guide to put English travellers in possession of the truth as regards many things, facts and persons, and thus to guard them against misrepresentations, our readers need by no means, on crossing the Channel, blurt out all they know of these truths, often the worst of libels. These double edged weapons may be kept undrawn until necessary for self defence. Gratuitously to wound a sensitive kindly people, is neither polite or friendly in the stranger, who is their guest - who will pass more quietly through the land by making things pleasant to the natives, and if speech he silver, silence is often gold.
