L'Andalusia è uno spazio geografico, storico e mitico, ma anche uno spazio intimo. È un "finis terrae" europeo, cuore di molte culture - barbara ed eurasiatica, berbera e araba, sefardita ed ebraica - eppure, rispetto a tutte, appartato e remoto. In questo orizzonte quasi senza tempo, lungo sentieri roventi come la piana del Guadalquivir d'estate o gelidi come i picchi della Sierra Nevada d'inverno, incroceremo molti viandanti: da Averroè a Maimonide, da Cervantes a García Lorca, a Primo de Rivera, a Manuel de Falla, ciascuno di essi ha la sua Andalusia da narrare, da amare.
