It has been described as a great curiosity shop, but to the art lover it is a treasure house of almost infinite beauty and variety. The Moorish palace of the Duke de Alba, in the Calle de las Dueiias, once consisted of eleven courtyards, nine fountains, and more than a hundred marble pillars, and was surrounded by a garden, which is a forest of orange trees and myrtles. In Seville one wanders through streets which are redolent of Arabia, and peep into countless Oriental patios, cool with founta...ins, and shaded by palms and Eastern canopies. One "feels the East a-calling" — the colour, the scent, the witchery of it gets into one's blood — and one recognises the truth that inspired the old Spanish saying : " To whom God loves He gives a house m Seville." TOLEDO TOLEDO TOLEDAN history proper, as distinguished from the mixture of fable and tradition which are associated with the story of this ancient and royal city, dates from the invasion of the Goths. Toledo was old when Euric successfully scaled its seven rocks and stormed its battlements — how old, cannot be determined.
