Seville is shaping up as one of the wonders of the modern world. The fourth largest city in Spain, it has been transformed in recent years by the preparation for the Universal Expo of 1992, with an entirely new urban infrastructure, the Cartuja, created to host the event. It is an architectural spectacle the like of which has not been seen in southern Europe for centuries. This exists alongside some of Arab and ecclesiatical buildings in the peninsula, which are described in this book. The city's heyday was the legendary Spanish Age of Gold, when the country, and Seville in particular, were enriched by untold wealth from across Columbus' ocean. Seville was also the first city of the Inquisition, an experience it may have thought it had forgotten until the fanatical General Queipo de Llano took up residence in the Andalusian capital in the opening days of the Civil War and inflicted a terror on the populace which may since have been forgiven but not forgotten. Then there is Carmen, bullfighting, the Feria, flamenco, sherry, cuisine and a political scene as exists in any progressive metropolis. Sarah Jane Evans casts a light on all these areas and more. The author also wrote "A Traveller's Guide to the Spanish Menu"

Over the last few decades Spain has become one of the most exciting wine-producing countries in the world. Indeed, such has been the growth in the number of producers that it is no longer possible to cover the whole country in one book. Although rightly famed for the wines of Rioja, the north of Spain has even more to offer the wine adventurer. Criss-crossed by rivers, its landscape ranges from the dramatic Pyrenees in the north-east to the low inlets of the Atlantic coast in the west. Growers – and consumers – can enjoy a diversity of terroirs and an exciting array of native varieties.
This long-overdue introduction to the wines of northern Spain explores the changes, starting in the west, where the wineries of Galicia – from Rías Baixas to Valdeorras – have multiplied, while Bierzo is building a reputation for aromatic, refreshing reds, and Castilla y León is home to a growing number of individual, top quality producers. Travelling east, the success of Ribera del Duero has attracted investors from outside the region, all eager to gain a share of the limelight, while Aragón is busy building an international reputation for its venerable bush vine Garnachas. Across the country, a new generation is joining established producers in a remarkable blossoming of fine wines.
Award-winning Spanish wine specialist Sarah Jane Evans MW brings the wine regions alive, with extensive producer profiles to reflect the birth of a new era for this country’s wines. Established and well-known estates mingle on the page with newer makers and small producers to provide a thoroughly up-to-date and indispensable reference.
For all wine enthusiasts keen to explore this region – whether in person or from a favourite armchair – The wines of northern Spain is essential reading.

* Sarah Jane Evans is one of the most highly regarded global commentators on the wines of Spain, an in-demand speaker, wine judge and Master of Wine * Book follows on from the success of Evans' The Wines of Northern Spain, also in the Classic Wine Library, published in 2018 * Aside from Sherry, many of southern Spain's regions, particularly the island wines, are less well known than their northern counterparts, making this an ideal book for more adventurous wine lovers The companion volume to Evans' The Wines of Northern Spain explores the great variety of wines produced across the rest of Spain. Beginning in the east with Catalunya, the book journeys south down the Mediterranean coast to the Levante. The heart of Spain, including Madrid and La Mancha, is explored before we reach Andalucia in the south and voyage on to the Balearic and Canary Islands. The regions covered could not be more different, separated by language, customs and history as well as by gastronomy and wines. After a chapter on key grape varieties Evans explores each region in turn, relating its history, exploring current trends in winemaking and viticulture and profiling the key producers. There is also a chapter on Spain's sparkling wines.
