Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's travels to the Canary Islands during the winter of 1848, at a time when the islands were not yet frequently visited by tourists. The author outlines the political climate and social mores of the islanders, provides a historical overview of the islands' conquest and conversion to Christianity, and shares observations on the activities, classes, and traditions of the Spanish people as the author encountered them. The author also draws comparisons between the Canary Islands and nearby Madeira, emphasizing differences and similarities in topography, climate, and social customs. The book concludes with a chapter on the island of Teneriffe, where the author spends a month, and provides lyrical descriptions of the island's verdant hills, subtropical vegetation, and beautiful sunsets.
