Two middle-aged ladies, one Penelope Chetwode, the other her 12-year old mare La Marquesa, explored the high sierra north of Granada in 1961. Together the travelers brought out the best in their Spanish hosts and Chetwode's compelling account - warm, witty, and candid - is informed by her infectious personal fascination for horses, religion, and Spain. "[An] engaging little travel memoir... A lovely portrait of a colorful corner of the country and, more important, a vivid account of a type of intrepid travel experience that sadly no longer exists on the well-traversed European continent."-Booklist

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Penelope Chetwode's sole companion on her ride over the disused mule tracks and goat paths in the wilds of Andalusia in 1961 was the twelve-year-old bay mare, La Marquesa. This treasured animal, borrowed from the Duke of Wellington's Spanish stables, is the 'other' of the two middle-aged ladies of the title. La Marquesa brought her experience of native travel conditions to the expedition, which was first initiated by the author's fondness for the works of such early British travellers to Spain as George Borrow and Richard Ford. Together the two travellers brought out the very best in their Spanish hosts, whether met on the road, in a country Inn, a cave-house or during Penelope's frequent attendance at unexpected Church services. The result is a journey, through the region north from Granada, told in a compelling style with warmth and wit, humour and candour that is underlit by an infectious personal fascination for horses, God and Spain. Two middle-aged ladies, one Penelope Chetworth, the other her 12-year old mare La Marquesa, explored the high sierra north of Granada in 1961. This title brings together the best in their Spanish hosts, informed by personal fascination for horses, religion and Spain.
