Tangier to Granada Diary of a Wanderer Across Moorish Realms
A travelogue from Gibraltar to Tangier and on to Malaga and Granada recounts street life in Tangier with moslem dress, a deceptive brass tray seller, mint tea, perilous driving, and a visit to the Alhambra. The writer meets English travelers and painter Francis Bacon, notes moslem dancers, snake charmers, and grand gardens, praising Moors architecture and the 6 000 pipe organ in a Granada church.
