Pedro Hurtado offers us a virtual tour through the history of Granada, a city with a thousand years of history, a landmark of Antiquity, and a melting pot of cultures.
And its Alhambra, a jewel of the historical and artistic heritage of Andalusia, Spain, and humanity.
He proposes a modern and engaging visual perspective, with dozens of full-color illustrations, created especially to preserve and highlight the historical memory of the city, witness to the most sublime events of Hispanic history.
Pahu Ediciones is once again committed to rescuing the immense Hispanic historical heritage.
This time, the focus is on a very special city, the seed of what we have come to call Hispanidad: Granada.
In itself, Granada symbolizes the best of the modern Spain we know today. It is the final resting place of the most beloved, most relevant, and most influential monarchs this country and all of Hispanidad have ever known. This term began its journey in the Capitulations of Santa Fe, between the Catholic Monarchs and Boabdil. Therefore, that moment had to be captured on the book’s cover, as it aims to tell the story through images. It marks the turning point between one path and another.
This book also underscores a before and after for the Illustrated History Series. Until now, Pahu Ediciones has focused its work on illuminating the history of cities like Baza, Vera, and Lorca. These are fascinating adventures, made all the more so by their obscurity and the great secrecy surrounding them. But grand History, with a capital H, while more widely known, holds such fantastic surprises and curiosities in the catacombs of its memory that it’s difficult not to succumb to the temptation of rescuing them and sharing them with everyone.
That is the spirit that energetically drives Pahu Ediciones: dissemination. Granada and its Alhambra deserve to be projected in every direction, to every corner of the world, to have their legacy known and valued. Even more so.
