Since the publication of this book in 1988, there have been many changes in Spain. Nevertheless, the collection of photos gives a collective snapshot of the life of the country, for as some demonstrate; there has been no change in the lives of many Spanish people in centuries. Photographic essays about a country are by definition superficial yet they are generally fascinating in what they reveal about the people, the climate and the culture.
