Richard Ford spent three years in Spain in the early 1830s, living in Seville and in the Alhambra itself, and later turned his knowledge into the celebrated Handbook for Spain. His letters, edited by Rowland Prothero, describe bullfights, royal festivities, travel on horseback and Spanish art, then follow his life as a scholar and connoisseur at Heavitree near Exeter.
