What reading level is Travels in Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On every side of the Christian church proper, 158 TRAVELS IN SPAIN stretches the old shrine of the Moors, its vistas of pillars reaching away to what seem like illimitable distances, shrouded in steadily, increasing gloom.
No other church in Spain has so magnificent a cathedral close. The court of oranges at Seville, fragrant and beautiful as it is, cannot be compared with the court at Cordova. As at Seville, one gains no adequate idea of it from without. It is sur- rounded by a massive cinctur...e of stone resembling a fortress, battlemented and strengthened by mas- sive buttresses. Only at a single point does it give any outward and visible evidence of its inward and spiritual character; namely, where the massive bell tower rises above the Gate of Pardon near the street of Cespedes.
It was from that narrow thoroughfare that we emerged after some wandering on our first afternoon in Cordova, and stood marveling at the curious outworks of the cathedral. The great gate was closed, the outer surface of its mighty doors studded with metal scales and bosses.
