Fragments from His Diary in Iberia
Fragments from His Diary in Iberia

Summary/Abstract: When, in 1998, I had the chance to take a one-month unexpected trip to Spain and Portugal, I had decided to keep a ‘travel diary’ for the first time in my life. At the beginning, I conceived it only for myself, in order to be able to remember after a while where I had been and what I had seen. I used to write it on the spot, ‘down on my knees’, on a notebook or, at most, writing down my daily impressions during the evening. Hence, it was written while in action, without letting myself driven in the subsequent interventions of improving the style or of completing the information. It is presented as raw material, without having been submitted to montage. Once in Bucharest, I read it to some of my friends. Now I shall reveal certain fragments of it. I hope that the impact felt by a Romanian (completely caught unaware) when in touch with the fascinating Iberia will be noticed.
