Cuentos de la Alhambra by Washington Irving
"Cuentos de la Alhambra" by Washington Irving is a book written in 1829 and published in 1832. This romantic work blends travel narrative, diary, and fantasy tales centered on the legendary Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. Irving himself serves as narrator, recounting his stay within the monument's walls while collecting stories from local inhabitants. The book interweaves Moorish legends—of enchanted princesses, magical treasures, and mystical astrologers—with vivid observations of 1829 Granada and
its people, creating an essential work of early Hispanic literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
