The Last Troubadour in Spain
John X Clare
language (No-One Publishing, Oct. 17, 2014)This is a book about a lost way of life when Spain was still a medieval country under the iron grip of the Franco regime and gunfire in the streets at night was normal. It’s essential reading for those who want to understand what Spain used to be like.The writer travels the country by bus accompanied by military escort to discourage bandits. He joins in the fiestas and serenades the señoritas on their balconies. He is taken in by peasants, fed and befriended, and eventually comes to live in a village where he is the only person besides the priest who can read and write, and so becomes the village ears and eyes on the outside world, before the television and a less repressive education system make him redundant.
