In South from Granada, Brenan chose to live in the small village of Yegen, in the mountains near Granada, well inland and a world away from the larger Andalucian towns. He rented an old home, and some characters who came with it, and walked the length and breadth of the land. An isolated village, he ponders the advance of the modern age.

A lovely portrayal of village life in the interwar years. A classic of its time
