Description

Traditional architecture and dramatic natural settings place Spain's villages among the most unspoiled and appealing in Europe. Stunning color photos capture more than 30 of these gems, and all are accompanied by captions and brief essays on each village. Pretty Romanesque churches dominate mountain communities in the Asturias and the Pyrenees; walled hamlets rise from the high plains of Castilla; literary and artistic associations enrich the beautiful remains of Moorish Andalucia; picturesque fishing villages lie to the north in Basque country. A short section on dining and accommodations in the villages is included.
Gracias a su arquitectura tradicional o a lo espectacular de su emplazamiento, los pueblos de España se encuentran entre los más llamativos y mejor conservados de todo el continente europeo: preciosas iglesias románicas presidiendo pequeñas comunidades de montaña en Asturias y los Pirineos, poblaciones amuralladas perdidas en la meseta castellana, maravillosos pueblos de indeleble impronta árabe rebosantes de connotaciones literarias y artísticas. Este libro reúne más de treinta poblaciones únicas, con pintorescos pueblecitos de pescadores situados en las costas de Galicia y el País Vasco. Se incluye, asimismo, una sección especial en la que se detallan las especialidades propias de la gastronomía local, así como un práctico listado de lugares de interés, restaurantes y alojamientos.
