Presented with the style of a typical Abrams art title, this gorgeous book features 40 Spanish gardens, both public and private.
Some examples are; La Alhambra in Granada, Monforte in Valencia, Castillo de Layos in Toledo, La villa de las Sirenas in Cadiz and monasterio de Poblet in Tarragona.
George's photographs convey an excellent sense of place as well as the beauty and character of Spain, and the text, written by well-respected Spanish landscape architect Correcher, provides good background on each garden but not extensive detail.
This is not a tourist's guide, as addresses and other specifics are not included.
