About this title

Synopsis

Excursions In The Mountains Of Ronda And Granada, With Characteristic Sketches Of The Inhabitants Of The South Of Spain by Captain C. Rochfort Scott. This travel narrative, largely written during the 1820s and later revised, surveys Andalusia through the eyes of a British officer stationed in Gibraltar. Opening with reflections on Spain’s fallen grandeur and the Moorish monuments that survive, the work weaves Gibraltar and San Roque with journeys to the Basins of Ronda, the Vega of Granada, Malaga, and Cordoba. It blends travelogue with ethnography, political commentary, and social anecdotes, offering vivid portraits of Andalusian costume, customs, and daily life, as well as observations on smuggling, the state of Spanish governance, and the clash between Catholicism and liberal ideas. Legends such as the Fairy’s Bridge and Blas el Guerrillero are interlaced with historical and topographical detail, creating a panoramic, if morally acerbic, record of southern Spain in the early 19th century.
