關於作者:
Patricia Harris and David Lyon chapters 1–13 and 16–20 have
journeyed the world for American, British, Swiss, and Asian
publishers to write about food, culture, art, and design. They have
covered subjects as diverse as elk migrations in western Canada,
the street markets of Shanghai, winter hiking on the Jungfrau, and
the origins of Mesoamerican civilization in the Mexican tropics. In
the name of research, they have eaten hot-peppertoasted
grasshoppers, English beef, and roasted armadillo in banana sauce.
When good wine or craft beer is unavailable, they drink Diet Coke.
Wherever they go, they are continually drawn back to Spain for the
fl amenco nightlife, the Moorish architecture of Andalucía, the
world-weary and lust-ridden saints of Zurbarán, and the
phantasmagoric visions of El Greco—and the sheer joy of conversing
with the regulars in a thousand little bars while drinking the
house wine and eating tapas of Manchego and chorizo.
Neil Edward Schlecht chapters 1, 3, 14, 15, and 19 is a
freelance writer based in northwestern Connecticut. His fi rst
exposure to Spain was teaching English for a summer at a Col·legi
Sant Ignasi in Barcelona. He returned to the Catalan capital just
before the 1992 Olympics and spent most of the decade there,
working on social and economic development projects for the
European Union and later as a contributing writer for a Spanish art
and antiques magazine. Neil is the author or co-author of a dozen
travel guides, including Frommer''s Peru, Frommer''s Cuba, Frommer''s
South America, Frommer''s New York, Frommer''s Texas, and Spain For
Dummies. But little motivates him like the chance to discover new
restaurants and wines in Spain.
