Rambles In The Pyrenees PDF Download

Excerpt from Rambles in the Pyrenees: And the Adjacent Districts, Gascony, Pays De Foix Roussillon This book follows similar lines to those of my two volumes on "The Shores of the Adriatic," in so far as the places visited follow upon a continuous thread; the aim in treatment has been much the same. Certain portions of the districts are well known to English people, and these I have for the most part passed by, as my interest is specially concerned with places which are fresh to the traveller. For the full treatment of the subject both sides of the mountain-chain should be studied, the relations between the districts having always been so close, and the boundaries of the countries so frequently shifting; while the artistic influences, especially during the Romanesque period and the flowering time of Catalan Gothic, spread so widely that the artists of the French and Spanish Pyrenean States practically worked with the same ideas in their heads and pursued similar ends.
