Synopsis
Excerpt from The Shores and Islands of the Mediterranean, Including a Visit to the Seven Churches of Asia, Vol. 1 of 3
A gentleman who travels alone, and to whom time is not the first object, will do well to ride through any part of the Spanish peninsula; he will see the country and the people to greater advantage, and will, if he be a wise man, put down to the account of amusement all the little inconveniences he may meet with. The costume of the country is always the best to wear; a beard and moustache are great advantages, and the less luggage the better. Let it be distinctly remembered that when the traveller quits France, he must not expect the same amount of comfort save on the great highways to capital cities; and here the eastern proverb will often stand him in good stead.
