The Alhambra
2017 • CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform
English
One arrives at this enchanted pile, not as a mere tourist, but as a guest drawn into its very fabric. The initial journey through the rugged Andalusian landscape, past armed herdsmen and solitary mule trains, sets a tone of romantic adventure, hinting at the wild heart of Spain. Upon reaching Granada, the Alhambra reveals itself, not as a pristine monument, but as a living ruin, still inhabited by a motley collection of characters: the diligent caretaker, Doña Antonia Molina, her black-eyed niece Dolores, and the self-appointed guide, Mateo Ximenes, a proud "son of the Alhambra" whose tattered garb seems emblematic of the palace's faded fortunes.
Within these walls, the days unfold in a delightful blend of observation and imagination. One might spend hours exploring the Court of Lions, admiring the intricate stucco work and the pious mottoes of the Moslem monarchs, or gaze from the balcony of the Hall of Abencerrages, watching the bustling life of Granada below. The Alhambra itself, with its blend of Moorish artistry and later Christian additions, becomes a potent symbol of the mutability of all human endeavors.
But it is in the twilight hours, or in the hushed quiet of a secluded chamber, that the true magic awakens. The present inhabitants, with their rich oral traditions, become conduits to the past. They share tales of hidden Moorish treasures, protected by ancient spells and waiting for discovery. Stories abound of wise astrologers, like the one who built a magical weathercock for King Aben Habuz, and of enchanted soldiers, slumbering beneath the hills, ready to rise at a moment of need.
Among the most captivating are the legends of the Moorish princesses, often sequestered within the palace walls. There is the poignant tale of the three beautiful princesses, Zayda, Zorayda, and Zorahayda, daughters of a Muslim king, whose romantic longings lead them on paths of forbidden love and ultimate enchantment. Their stories, filled with secret gardens, midnight escapes, and tragic partings, evoke a sense of longing and the bittersweet nature of destiny.
From the tragic fate of the Abencerrages knights, beheaded in their own hall due to a jealous sultan's wrath, to the melancholic departure of Boabdil, the last Moorish king, who sighed his last look upon Granada from the hill known as "El Suspiro del Moro," each legend adds another layer to the Alhambra's rich tapestry. These narratives, whether historical anecdotes or fantastical fables, are deeply woven into the very stones of the palace, brought to life by the vivid descriptions of its decaying beauty and the lingering spirit of its former occupants.
The experience is one of immersion, where the lines between the present reality of a dilapidated palace and the glorious past it once held become wonderfully blurred. The grandeur of a lost civilization, the romance of chivalry, and the mystery of magic seem to permeate the very air, inviting reflection on the rise and fall of empires, and the enduring power of stories that cling to places of such profound beauty.

Rating Sources
Reviewers widely praise this book for its profound impact on preserving and popularizing the Alhambra, almost single-handedly saving the palace from ruin and cementing its romantic reputation for the English-speaking world. The author's prose is frequently described as magical, romantic, and evocative, blending a keen eye for observation with an amiable sense of humor. The book is celebrated for its unique combination of travelogue, historical essays, and captivating retellings of Spanish and Moorish legends. These tales, reminiscent of Arabian Nights, are full of enchantment, often featuring hidden treasures, ancient warriors, and sequestered princesses, providing both entertainment and a deeper connection to the site's rich past. Readers appreciate the author's unbiased admiration for the Arab civilization in Andalusia, acknowledging its significant cultural, scientific, and architectural achievements and its lasting influence on Spain. The book's ability to transport the reader to a bygone era, sparking the imagination and enhancing the experience of visiting the actual Alhambra, is a recurring highlight, making it a beloved classic that has remained in print for nearly two centuries.
Despite its many strengths, some reviewers find aspects of the book challenging. The author's high-flown, sometimes florid, 19th-century prose can be dense and require effort, occasionally leading to a monotonous tone of "breathless wonder" that some readers find tiresome in longer sittings. Concerns are also raised about the historical accuracy, with some suggesting that the author's romantic fancy at times overshadows factual reporting, and that many anecdotes about contemporary Spaniards might be fabricated. Additionally, the collection of legends can feel repetitive, frequently revisiting themes of hidden treasures, enchanted figures, and forbidden love. For those without a particular interest in visiting the Alhambra or Andalusia, the book's specific focus might limit its broader appeal. One reviewer also noted that, when viewed through a modern lens, certain passages reflect the social biases of the period, potentially appearing sexist, racist, or LGTB-phobic.
Ultimately, "Tales of the Alhambra" is regarded as a literary gem and a masterpiece, highly recommended for its charm and enduring legacy. It is particularly well-suited for readers who are fascinated by the history and culture of Andalusia, especially those planning a visit to the Alhambra itself, as it profoundly enriches the experience of the palace. The book appeals to lovers of historical travelogues, folklore, and romantic prose, offering a unique blend of fact and captivating fantasy. Readers who enjoy immersing themselves in the "Arabian Nights" style of storytelling, appreciate detailed descriptions of historical sites, and are open to a literary style from an earlier era will find much to cherish. While its narrative style and occasional historical liberties may not appeal to all, its undeniable influence on cultural perception and its delightful tales make it a worthwhile read for anyone seeking an evocative journey into Spain's enchanting past.
