Two themes are combined in this book. One is a personal tale chronicling the author's discovery of Spain, of the pull it held over him and the reasons why he returned time and again, often to act out the most potent and vivid moments of his life.

Robert Elms was presenter of the 32-week Channel 4 television series, "Travelogue", and is a regular contributor to the travel pages of "The Times and "The Sunday Times".
