   This report, written in 1989, is a combination of my diary notes and letters.
                                 Spanish words, remarks and quotations are printed in italics.                                     

I beg the pardon of the late nobelprize winner
Juan Ramón Jiménez
for taking the liberty of using the title of his Andalusian Elegy

PLATERO  Y  YO

 for this travel report.

From heaven over Moguer, the poet and his gentle donkey Platero
"feliz en tu prado de rosas eternas"
  view it with leniency.
