The narrative unfolds Borrow's experiences while on a mission to distribute the Bible in Spain and Portugal, reflecting his observations of the culture and society of the period." This account provides a unique lens on the spiritual climate of Spain, as Borrow engages with locals and navigates the complexities of religious propagation in a predominantly Catholic nation. "The opening of the book introduces the context of Borrow's mission in the late 1830s, beginning with an eventful sea voyage to Lisbon. Upon arriving, Borrow shares his first impressions of Portugal, noting the impact of a recent earthquake on Lisbon's character and his interactions with locals, including clergy and schoolmasters." He embarks on exploring areas around Lisbon, visiting Cintra and Mafra, where he observes the levels of literacy, the presence of religious institutions, and the general ignorance of the Scriptures among the populace. Through these encounters, Borrow reflects on his purpose of spreading the Gospel in a country where the Bible had been historically restricted, setting the stage for his broader narrative throughout Spain.
