Excerpt from Spain in 1830, Vol. 2 of 2 Plain of Castile, to the warm shores of Anda lusia. Accordingly, being provided by the kindness of my friends in Madrid, with letters for the captains-general of the southern pro vinces, and for numerous private individuals, all which, together with the letters to his majesty's consuls, and to mercantile houses, brought with me from England, formed a budget of no contemptible size or value, I prepared for my long and fatiguing journey. But although, in leaving Madrid to traverse the southern and south-eastern provinces of Spain, the traveller naturally anticipates in this journey of not less than sixteen hundred miles, many privations, and some dangers, there are also a thousand delightful and novel associations to excite his expectation. La Mancha, and the memory of its courteous knight, and the thousand reminiscences with which the genius of Cervantes has hallowed it, -the Sierra Morena, and its wild histories and lawless banditti, - Seville, which, with its orange groves and Guadalquivir, its masks and serenades, holds in the mind a sort of fabled existence, -granada, its Alhambra, and snowy Sierras, and the host of historic and romantic.
