1866

    Henry Blackburn

    Four years later, in 1866, Henry Blackburn, art critic for the London Society, stayed here to write his book «Travelling in Spain in the Present Day». From these very balconies he observed sunrises and sunsets over Puerta del Sol, which he would portray in his book.

    We find it curious how his travel guide remains very relevant today. You can discover this for yourselves by asking for a copy of the book at reception.
