This travelogue describes the city of Cordoba during the nineteenth century. The writing style is formal and descriptive, reflecting the literary conventions of that era. You will encounter sophisticated vocabulary related to architecture, history, and landscape. The sentences are often long and complex, requiring careful attention to their structure and flow. This book is a demanding read for those learning Spanish, as it uses evocative, slightly archaic language to paint a vivid picture of the city and its past.

Questions about this book
What level of Spanish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 18 h 16 min at a native pace, spread over 6 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
