South From Granada

Between 1920 and 1934, Gerald Brenan lived in the remote Spanish village of Yegen, and ‘œSouth from Granada” depicts his time there, vividly evoking the essence of his rural surroundings and the Andalucian way of life before the Civil War.He describes the landscapes, festivals and folklore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions and local characters. Fascinating details emerge, from cheap brothels to archaeological remains, along with visits from Brenan’™s friends in the Bloomsbury group – Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf among them. Knowledgeable, elegant and sympathetic, this is a rich account of Spain’™s vanished past.
