´Roy Nash's engaging account of his walk from La Herradura to Madrid makes you want to pack your knapsack and hit the road'
`The honesty of Nash's account, the dialogue,
his willingness to engage with people, and his delight in what he finds make
for an entertaining and informative read'
Rob Stokes, Spain Magazine
`This funny and often touching story is not meant to be a guide to other potential
hikers. In fact, it probably indicates how not to go about anything'
Costa del Sol News
`An impressive read, for walkers and armchair travellers alike...packed with
fascinating historical facts and literary references from both Spanish and English
travel writers, along with humorous personal anecdotes´
`...a fascinating insight into parts of Spain which would not otherwise be seen
by the car-bound traveller. The descriptions of landscapes and the spectacular
Sierra views are highly evocative, while Nash comes across as an old-time romantic
adventurer, absorted in the timelessness of La Mancha- a modern Don Quijote'
The Broadsheet, Madrid
`With a title borrowed from Gerald Brenan's literary classic, South From Granada,
this is a ratherdifferent adventure, punctuated by mishaps, hangovers, the occasional
sexual encounter and much humor'
Belinda Beckett, The Reporter, Spain
