"Spanish Vistas" by George Parsons Lathrop is a travel story that shows Spain in a moment of change, using personal stories to paint a picture of its beautiful scenery, history, and traditions. The story starts with the author and a friend arriving in Burgos during the Corpus Christi festival. They quickly find themselves in the middle of a lively scene, complete with old buildings and the sounds of the town watchman. The author describes the parades, funny local happenings, and conversations with the people, which shows off the charm and cultural oddities of Spain. This first experience sets the stage for a trip full of discovery, thought, and a love for how the Spanish live, even with all its difficulties.
