"Voyage en Espagne d'un Ambassadeur Marocain (1690-1691)" by Wazir al-Ghassani is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides a narrative of a Moroccan ambassador's journey to Spain, detailing observations and experiences from the perspective of an outsider engaged in diplomatic relations. The book aims to shed light on the cultural, social, and political dynamics of Spain during this period. The opening of the text introduces the reader
to the context of the ambassador's journey, beginning with a detailed account of the geographical and historical significance of Gibraltar and Ceuta as entry points into Spain. It recounts the ambassador's arrival at the Port of Gibraltar, the tumultuous seas experienced during the crossing, and the warm reception he and his entourage receive upon reaching Cadiz. The narrative weaves together historical references with descriptions of the port's strategic importance, local customs, and interactions with Spanish officials, setting the stage for a rich exploration of the ambassador's travels through various cities and the observations he makes along the way. This introductory portion establishes the framework for understanding both the ambassador's mission and the cultural milieu of Spain in the late 17th century.
