From the publisher:

The taste of regional dishes, the melancholy of empty hotels, the forgotten treasures of medieval art in provincial Catholic churches, the songs of Alfonso X the Wise "Cantigas de Santa Maria". Paintings by Diego Velázquez and Francisco Surbarán, works by Jorge Luis Borja and Miguel de Cervantes, the history of the Dukes de Alba and Charles the Enchanted. Travelling around Spain alone, Søren Nooteboom makes a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, which has been planned for many years. He detours off the main roads to visit monasteries, galleries and museums, and crosses the English Channel in search of Don Quixote. Along the way, he reflects on the history, geography, art and culture of this great country. He is looking for places where time has lingered."

Seijs Nooteboom (b. 1933) is a famous Dutch writer, winner of many literary awards. His novel The Memorial Day and his short stories The Letter and Amsterdam have been translated into Ukrainian by Universe Publishing House.
