About Item: New York: Mason / Charter. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1977. First US Edition. Hardcover. Small closed tear on back on dust jacket. 224 pages. "The Paradores have been located in time, rather than in place and on a regional basis, their geographical position may easily be checked on the sketch maps in the text or the large map on the end papers of this book. The scheme is to set a historical period and then to illustrate it in more detail by a description of the events and persons connected with a particular Parador of historical interest." "The word Parador has been derived from the Arabic waradah, a 'halting place', and is certainly related to the Spanich parada, used in the same sense." This is a must read book and if you like history, castles, traveling, art, architecture, this is one you will love to read and learn something. .
