The adventures of Antonio Ponz have been compared to those of the most ingenious nobleman in world literature. The risks and discomforts that Ponz had to endure on his travels through a Spain with poor roads and even worse inns have something quixotic about them.
But Ponz's travels were not literary and were motivated by a desire for reform. Ponz embodied the traveller of the Enlightenment like few others, travelling to see, learn and spread knowledge, driven by an indefatigable curiosity and a bright hope in knowledge. His Viaje de España is a privileged window through which to observe the country at a decisive moment in its history, but it is also a testimony to the renewed values and ways of life brought about by the Enlightenment which, beyond any nuance, transformed the world.
