About this listen
Wander through echoing courts and jasmine-scented halls, where the whisper of Moorish kings still lingers in the painted air. In Tales of the Alhambra, Washington Irving invites the reader not into mere history, but into a waking dream of Spain—a place where stone lions keep watery vigil and forgotten soldiers pace moonlit corridors. These stories, part legend, part keen observation, ripple with the mystery of vanished empires and the quiet wonder of a traveler who listens closely. With a touch of dry humor and a pen dipped in the warm ochres and shadowed blues of Granada, Irving captures the Alhambra not as it is, but as it nearly might be—forever shimmering between truth and tale.
