Description
Two Middle-aged Ladies in Andalusia is a travel memoir that recounts the journey of two women - one human and the other her horse - through the high sierra north of Spain in 1961. Their travels brought out the best in their Spanish hosts, and Penelope Chetwode's account is marked by warmth, wit, and candour.
The book offers a vivid portrait of a colourful corner of the country and provides a unique insight into an intrepid travel experience that sadly no longer exists on the well-traversed European continent. With its infectious personal fascination for horses, religion, and Spain, this engaging little memoir is a compelling read.
