Throughout his trip, he filled his notebooks and journals with descriptions and observations though he did not believe his writing would ever do it justice. Aided by a 35-year old guide named Mateo Ximenes, Irving was inspired by his experience to write Tales of the Alhambra. At first sight, he described it as "a most picturesque and beautiful city, situated in one of the loveliest landscapes that I have ever seen." He immediately asked the then-governor of the historic Alhambra Palace as well as the archbishop of Granada for access to the palace, which was granted because of Irving's celebrity status.
In 1828, Washington Irving traveled from Madrid, where he had been staying, to Granada, Spain. Irving lived at the Alhambra Palace while writing some of the material for his book. This is a collection of essays, verbal sketches, and stories by Washington Irving.
