Stafford Gliff, with co-author Daniel '

Ghabaneix, turn their collective and unerring eye to this wealth of design and treat us to the sublime and the unexpected. We tour a moody ISth-century family home filled with sculpture, and we glimpse tropical gardens in a country estate on Mallorca. We see the Art Nouveau splendors of Gaudi's Gasa Mila, the gleaming tiles of a Montaner lobby, and the cutting edge of Spanish design in the apartment of the proprietors of Dos i Una (a noted shop in Barcelona).
Spires and domes, courtyards and shaded passageways, tileworK, brickwork, plaster carving, filigreed metal - Slesin, Gliff, and Rozensztroch present the contrasts of Spain. As always, they are meticulous in their observations and their presentation of a country's lifestyle. And here - with more than 700 photographs - they have truly captured the beauty and romance that is Spain. Vissza
