Schlechtnow resides in Litchfield County, Connecticut. His first exposure to Spain was as a college sopho- more teaching English at Col.legi Sant Ignasi in Barcelona. He returned to Barcelona just before the 1992 Summer Olympics and stayed for most of the following decade, working as a consultant on social and economic development projects for the European Union and as a contributing writer for a Spanish art and antiques magazine. The author of a dozen travel guides, as well as articles on art and culture and art catalogue essays, Neil is especially keen on assignments that take him back to Spain. The author counts among the highlights of his Spanish travels a few treasured road miles cycling in the Navarra countryside along- side Miguel Indurain, Spain’s five-time Tour de France champion. Neil’s favorite reminder of Spain is his Labrador retriever, who hails from a farm on Ibiza, one of the Balearic Islands. Despite her relocation to the United States, she plays deaf to any commands not in Spanish. 01_105733 ffirs.qxp 2/15/07 9:04 PM Page vi 01_105733 ffirs.qxp 2/15/07 9:04 PM Page vii Dedication To Keny, who immersed me in the ways of Spain, and Solà, whose wine- fueled charlasin his art studio helped me interpret them. And to Sharon, who makes me want to hurry home. Author’s Acknowledgments A special thanks (and unabrazo muy fuerte) to Pilar Vico of the Tourist Office of Spain in New York. Her generosity and good-natured assistance proved essential to the completion of this book.
