Summary "A Corner of Spain" by Walter Wood is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores the beautiful and lesser-known region of Galicia in Spain, focusing on its landscapes, people, and culture through the experiences of a traveler who engages with both locals and the scenery. The opening portion of this work begins with a preface that sets the stage for the journey through Galicia. Walter Wood describes the aim of the book as offering insight into the region's life and character rather than a historical or comprehensive account. He portrays the vivid scenery, traditional lifestyles, and unique customs of the Galicians, such as their night-watchman traditions and agricultural practices. The introduction by Martin Hume further emphasizes Galicia's enchanting qualities, comparing it to places like Ireland and portraying the warmth of its people. This part of the book captures the enchanting atmosphere of Galicia, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the landscape and culture awaiting exploration.
