and Mark Cirino – Description Essays that explore Hemingway’s love for Spain Ernest Hemingway famously called Spain “the country that I loved more than any other except my own,” and his forty-year love affair with it provided an inspiration and setting for major works from each decade of his career: The Sun Also Rises, Death in the Afternoon, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Dangerous Summer, and The Garden of Eden; his only full-length play, The Fifth Column ; the Civil War documentary The Spanish Earth; and some of his finest short fiction, including “Hills Like White Elephants” and “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.
- ” In Hemingway’s Spain, Carl P;
- Eby and Mark Cirino collect thirteen penetrating and innovative essays by scholars of different nationalities, generations, and perspectives who explore Hemingway’s writing about Spain and his relationship to Spanish culture and ask us in a myriad of ways to rethink how Hemingway imagined Spain—whether through a modernist mythologization of the Spanish soil, his fascination with the bullfight, his interrogation of the relationship between travel and tourism, his involvement with Spanish politics, his dialog with Spanish writers, or his appreciation of the subtleties of Spanish values;
In addition to fresh critical responses to some of Hemingway’s most famous novels and stories, a particular strength of Hemingway’s Spain is its consideration of neglected works, such as Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War stories and The Dangerous Summer. The collection is noteworthy for its attention to how Hemingway’s post–World War II fiction revisits and reimagines his earlier Spanish works, and it brings new light both to Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War politics and his reception in Spain during the Franco years.
What was Hemingway doing in Spain?
01 Jul 2009 Instituto Hemingway is named after the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway who spent a great part of his life in Spain and this has influenced his major works. His passion for bullfighting, as well as other aspects of the Spanish culture, can be seen in his novels.
- Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was born in Oak Park, Illinois, and started his career as a writer in a newspaper office at the early age of seventeen;
- During the First World War he joined a volunteer army unit in Italy;
When he returned to the United States he worked in Chicago as a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers. In 1936, Hemingway traveled to Spain to report on the Civil War going on in the country at this time. As many writers he supported the cause of the Loyalist.
He used his experience as a reporter during the Spanish Civil War when he wrote his most prominent novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls. The work is based on real events and reveals the story of an American Robert Jordan who fights Spanish soldiers on the Republican side.
Hemingway dedicated his outstanding work to his third wife, a Spanish journalist, Martha Gelhorn, whose devotion and desire to travel inspired him. Ernest Hemingway once referred to Spain in a letter as “the last good country left”. One can definitely see that his Spain is, in fact, a quite enchanting place.
Where in Spain did Hemingway go?
When it came to travel, few could match Ernest Hemingway’s voracious hunger for adventure. As a result, the man is forever associated with a handful of places around the world including Paris, Africa, Key West and Cuba. But it was Spain that would inspire four novels, a play, countless pages of journalism and a handful of short stories.
- To say that Ernest Hemingway was a brilliant novelist of the 20th century would suggest that he was merely a writer;
- While the author of timeless classics like A Farewell to Arms, The Old Man and the Sea and A Moveable Feast did win a Nobel Prize and a Pulitzer Prize for his literary achievements, it was his stouthearted approach to living that sustained his legendary standing long after he penned his final words;
From the mid-1920s to the mid-1950s, his most literary years, Hemingway made more than 20 trips to Spain. Now, more than half a century after his death, visitors can still experience the same charm and adventure of this great country. Hemingway’s Spain begins in Madrid, a place he once declared “the most Spanish of all cities.
” Here, a handful of Hemingway haunts still remain much the way they did during his time. Not much has changed inside Cervecería Alemana, where he mingled with matadors and where today visitors can sit at his table by the door.
Restaurante Sobrino de Botin, where Hemingway spent countless days writing, serves as the setting for the final scene of his first novel, The Sun Also Rises. And Museo Chicote was one of Hemingway’s favorite cocktail bars, where in the days of the Spanish Civil War, he would drink and scribble notes as war correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance.
After a glass of sherry at La Vencia, another favorite Hemingway hangout, book a room at the cozy Hostal El Aguilar in the historical, artistic center of Madrid, where in the 1920s, Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley, stayed during their early trips to Spain.
Or spend a night at the majestic Palace Hotel frequented by Hemingway in the 1930s, and follow in his footsteps to the cherished Prado Museum. One of Spain’s most important traditions, and one of Hemingway’s reigning passions throughout his life, is the corrida de toros, or “the bullfight.
- ” Hemingway witnessed countless bullfights and pursued his favorite matadors during his many trips to Spain in the 1920s, and even competed in amateur bullfighting competitions;
- But it was his 1932 trip to Spain that produced Death in the Afternoon, his greatest literary work dedicated to the sport;
Today, Spain’s bullfighting season generally runs from April through September, and most major cities hold weekly events in addition to festivals like San Isidro in Madrid and Feria de Abril in Seville. San Isidro, between May and June each year, is the world’s most famous bullfighting festival.
- For three weeks straight, spectators will experience the ambiance of this historic carnival amid Las Ventas Arena, Spain’s largest bullfighting arena;
- And while witnessing a bullfight is not for everyone, the rich history of the sport can still be appreciated;
Many bullrings throughout Spain include extensive museums that chronicle the sport’s evolution through unique collections of photographs, art and artifacts. Most museums offer behind-the-scenes tours of their bullring. For the most Hemingway of Spanish cities and adventures, head north to the Navarra region where every morning for a week in July, the streets of Pamplona’s old quarter fill with the cheers of enthusiastic spectators and a frenzy of fearless, if not desperate, runners pursued by six furious half-ton Spanish Fighting Bulls.
- This is the encierro, better known as the “running of the bulls,” and it’s the most popular event of Pamplona’s annual San Fermin Festival;
- This weeklong street party, the most internationally renowned festival in Spain, includes fireworks, open-air concerts, parading giants and cabezudos, a variety of sports and endless hours of singing and dancing;
Bullfighting is a large part of the festival too. In fact, the bulls that run in the morning take part in the afternoon bullfights held in the Plaza de Toros, Spain’s second largest bullfighting arena. Throughout his life, Hemingway frequented Northern Spain, enjoying the raucous San Fermin Festival.
In fact, the festival is central to The Sun Also Rises and brought San Fermin to the attention of most Americans. Today, the festival draws more than one million visitors each year. But when Hemingway wasn’t mingling with matadors, he was writing.
And when he wasn’t writing, the avid outdoorsman was knee-deep in the rivers of the Pyrenees-a place where the mutual influence of a mountainous landscape and the cold waters of the Irati led Hemingway to claim it was “the closest thing to heaven. ” In fact, he spent many long hours fishing the river Irati alone.
In addition to breathtaking scenery disrupted by stunning geology, the Spanish Pyrenees offer anglers their choice of high-mountain lakes, remote gorges and mountain streams teeming with zebra trout and alpine brook trout.
Trout waters abound throughout the region, so hiring a local guide is the best way to fully experience the nature and culture. Non-anglers will appreciate the slower pace of Northern Spain’s mountain culture filled with picturesque valleys, historic monasteries, beautiful national parks and towering peaks.
Why did Hemingway go to Spain?
Ernest Hemmingway – Few foreigners ever have been so closely identified with Spain as is Ernest Hemingway. A Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning novelist, essayist, and correspondent, Hemingway was able to capture the many complexities of Spain in a way that enchanted the world.
His relationship to Spain was more than that of the casual tourist or even of the detached observer – Hemingway wholeheartedly celebrated all that was Spanish culture and lifestyle. However, few people know that Hemingway spent his final birthday in Andalucia and that it was one of the last times he would be seen happy.
Nicknamed “Papa” by all those who knew him well, Ernest Miller Hemingway was never one to watch life pass him by; he lived it to the fullest. Born near Chicago on 21 July, 1899, much of his early years were spent in the outdoors fishing and hunting with his father, something that would remain central to his character during his life.
In fact, throughout Hemingway’s life the physical, even macho aspects would remain in the forefront of not only in his lifestyle but of his writing as well. He would later serve valiantly on the Italian front during World War I, receiving a severe injury in the leg.
This would become another major source of literary inspiration. Upon returning to Chicago, Hemingway turned his attention to writing. In 1920, he moved to Toronto, Canada and started his first writing job with The Toronto Star , finally becoming their foreign correspondent.
- He then moved to Paris with his first wife, Hadley Richardson, joining a loosely-affiliated group of American expatriates that collectively became known as The Lost Generation;
- It was here that he met the writers John Dos Passos, F;
Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein. It was Stein who convinced him to turn his back on journalism and devote his talents to fiction. He published The Sun Also Rises in 1926. It became a best-seller, ensuring his financial freedom for the rest of his life.
Hemingway first travelled to Spain in 1923 to experience bullfighting, acting on the advice of Gertrude Stein. It was then that he experienced the fervour of Feria de San Fermín in Pamplona, witnessing the encierro or “the running of the bulls”.
In fact, it was Hemingway’s writing that made San Fermín the internationally renowned festival that it is today. It appeared in The Sun Also Rises. The trip marked a watershed moment for Hemingway, beginning his love affair with bullfighting, an affair that would last until he finally took his own life in 1961.
This love would be immortalised in his novel, Death in the Afternoon , which is more or less a treatise on the art of bullfighting. Hemingway returned to Spain many times just to watch numerous corridas (bullfights).
However, 1937 saw him return to this country for a totally different reason. This time he returned as a correspondent to cover the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway was a staunch supporter of the Republican troops during the war and often put himself in danger doing what he could to support his side.
- These Spanish experiences served as the fodder for numerous short stories and also for the novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls , which was published in 1940;
- Andalucia was a frequent stop on Hemingway’s visits to Spain and it usually had to do with bullfighting;
For example, he watched numerous fights in the bullring of Malaga. In 1959, he decided to return to Spain not only to write a work about bullfighting but also to chronicle what was known as a mano a mano (hand to hand). These are a series of bullfights which pit two great matadors against each other in an attempt to show their superior skill at fighting.
They are very rare occurrences since it is not often that there are two matadors of this calibre fighting at the same time. It was this rarity that Hemingway hoped to capture, originally for a 10,000-word article for Life Magazine.
(Interestingly enough, the Life Magazine article mushroomed in size from the originally-commissioned 10,000 words to and unwieldy 120,000 words and was never published. It was reduced to 45,000 words and eventually published as The Dangerous Summer in 1985 after his death.
- ) The two matadors were the veteran Luis Miguel Dominguin, the most famous bullfighter in Spain since the death of the mythical Manolete and who was also the playboy lover of Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, and others;
His opponent was the younger upstart Andalucian, Antonio Ordóñez, who was born in the birthplace of modern bullfighting, Ronda. Hemingway was good friends with both men. During a respite in the fighting, the Hemingway and the Ordóñez entourages came to stay in Churriana, Malaga at the mansion of a close friend.
The Hemingway that returned to Spain on this trip was only a shadow of the man who fell in love with the country. Years of hard living, mental, and physical deterioration had taken their toll. Pictures from that era show him frail and without the self-assurance for which he was well known for all of his life.
Because it was Hemingway’s 60th birthday, a party was promptly called by his wife Mary. Nothing was left to chance. Champagne was flown in from France and Chinese food was flown in from London at great expense. There were also fireworks directed by an expert from Valencia, carnival booths, and a live orchestra.
The invitees included people as varied as the U. ambassador to the Maharajah of Jaipur and it lasted two full days. Unfortunately, the firework display was so lavish that it ended up setting fire to a palm tree and the fire brigade had to be called in all the way from Malaga.
After putting out the fire, they joined in the festivities as well, letting party-goers drive the fire truck. Hemingway was the life of the party and back to his old form. People had not seen him enjoy himself so much for a long time. Hemingway travelled throughout Andalucia during his lifetime but this trip would be his last.
The writer’s mental and physical health would rapidly deteriorate of the next months, he would become paranoid, and he would attempt suicide a number of times while being checked in and out of mental clinics.
He finally shot himself on 2 July, 1961, less than a year after his birthday party in Churriana, one which his close friend, A. Hotchner called “the best party ever. ” The depth of his love for Spain and bullfighting can be judged by the fact that he had in his home where he took his life, tickets for the bullfights in Pamplona.

”Spain,” the woman of Pablo said bitterly. Then turned to Robert Jordan. ”Do they have people such as this in other countries?” ”There are no other countries like Spain,” Robert Jordan said politely. ”You are right,” Fernando said. ”There is no other country in the world like Spain.
- ” ”Hast thou ever seen any other country?” the woman asked him;
- ”Nay,” said Fernando;
- ”Nor do I wish to;
- ” The words are spoken in the Sierra de Guadarrama, the small mountain range that rises from the sun-bleached meseta that Madrid sits upon, before Robert Jordan blows up the bridge in ”For Whom the Bell Tolls;
” It must have been wild country during the Spanish Civil War. Were he alive today, Ernest Hemingway would probably be dismayed by the sprawl of suburban housing developments and weekend A-frames that has crept into the evergreen oaks and pines of the Guadarrama; he might, too, find the funny little ski resorts at Navacerrada another taming touch in the sierra.
Yet if he left the good roads and set off into the woods, he would still be able to encounter the wildernesses (though not the utterly fictional caves) where Robert Jordan, Maria, Anselmo, Fernando and the woman of Pablo played out their destinies in what is probably his finest novel.
The Alpine Club, where Robert Jordan rested for three hours, is still there; so is the bridge that he blew up -though it is stone, not ”a steel bridge of a single span. ” In a letter, Hemingway once called Spain ”the last good country left. ” His Spain, in fact and fiction, is still a wonderfully unchanging place.
I lived in Madrid for six of the best years of my life. As a man writing in English for a living, I found my footsteps dogged by the giant presence of this writer from Oak Park, Ill. , who had done so much to fix Spain in the contemporary imagination.
He wrote things that one was tempted to steal, or pilfer from around the edges, like this from ”Death in the Afternoon” about a capital city that is perched at 2,190 feet: ”Madrid is a mountain city with a mountain climate. It has the high cloudless Spanish sky that makes the Italian sky seem sentimental and it has air that is actively pleasurable to breathe.
” And later: ”If it had nothing else than the Prado it would be worth spending a month in every spring, if you have the money to spend a month in any European capital. But when you can have the Prado and the bullfight season at the same time with El Escorial not two hours to the north and Toledo to the south, a fine road to Avila and a fine road to Segovia, which is no distance from La Granja, it makes you feel badly, all questions of immortality aside, to know that you will die and never see it again.
” One could not get around him, or even avoid some of the carnage he’d left behind. Hemingway drank and ate in as many places as George Washington slept in. By impaling Botin in the last pages of ”The Sun Also Rises” with these words – ”It is one of the best restaurants in the world”- he guaranteed this rustic spot off the Plaza Mayor an eternal clientele of American tourists and Spanish businessmen impressing their American contacts.
There is nothing wrong with a restaurant patronized by American tourists, but if they are the only customers you might as well be eating your roast suckling pig in Boston. Another Hemingway haunt in Madrid, the Cerveceria Alemana on the Plaza Santa Ana – a square where old men play games of chess with giant white and black pieces – retains its wooden facade, its blackened oil paintings and yellowing photographs of bullfight scenes, which hint at its dwindling matador clientele.
But I know a number of American and English males, working at the fringes of journalism and literature, who systematically destroyed their livers by sitting for years at its sturdy tables downing Fundador brandies and talking Hemingway-tough about bulls and women.
I do not say that they would not have destroyed their livers without Papa Hemingway’s inspiration, but it seems to me that his ghost was a spiritual accessory to their self-inflicted wounds. Never having developed a hankering for Fundador brandy in such a hot clime, I slipped relatively unscathed out of Hemingway’s Madrid in 1982 to the more subtle enticements of Bonn.
But, though one can leave Spain, Spain is not a country that leaves you. Hemingway’s Spain is not the tourist Spain of the coasts and beaches, but of the interior: Madrid, the Castilian high country and what he calls ”the overfoliaged, wet, green Basque country.
” It was in this heartland that he encountered, and reinvented in literature, a tragic Spain of impassioned living and violent dying, a nation of Goyas and Garcia Lorcas that seemed cast to his own virile, existentialist morality.
Since he had virtually abandoned America (and never wrote a novel about it), this Spain was, arguably, the closest thing he had to home. The epicenter of this universe, to which I returned this summer, is Pamplona and the surrounding hills of Navarre during the festival of San Fermin.
I had been to the legendary sanfermines once before, in 1977, when Spain was in the midst of its momentous transition to democracy. It was an amusing, but tense, festival, because the emergent partisans of Basque nationalism were constantly clashing in Pamplona’s streets with the police.
Showing the red white and green ikurrunia, or Basque flag, was an act of defiance that could get one clobbered on the head by the cops; it was certainly as dangerous as running with the bulls in the early-morning encierro. All that has changed. Next to the Iruna Bar on the Plaza del Castillo, where Jake Barnes and his friends besotted themselves, the ikurrunia today hangs harmlessly on the headquarters of the Basque Nationalist Party.
- At the bullfights, drunken Basque fans in the cheap sol seats pass big, undulating nationalist banners over their heads, but no one thinks to seize them;
- A kind of political normalcy reigns;
- There is a bust of Hemingway put up by the town fathers of Pamplona in 1968 next to the Plaza de Toros on a small pedestrian way that also bears the American’s name; the brave and the foolhardy who make the three-minute morning sprint in front of the bulls dash past it as they spill into the ring, if they have not already stumbled in a human traffic pileup or been gored;
Some of the dedicatory letters on the pedestal have been chipped away, but in Spanish one can clearly make out that it is for ”Ernest Hemingway, Nobel Literature Prize laureate, friend of this town and admirer of its fiestas, which he was able to describe and spread.
” The word used for town is ”pueblo,” which is a nice intimate touch, since pueblo can mean people, town or village. Ernesto, as many Spaniards call him, both out of fondness and an inability to pronounce his surname, came to regret in some measure the success with which he had spread the raucous sanfermines.
In ”The Dangerous Summer” – a pastiche of a book that describes his 1959 bullfight tour across Spain -Hemingway denounces the intrusion of the hated modern world on his beloved fiesta: ”I’ve written Pamplona once and for keeps. It is all there as it always was except forty thousand tourists have been added.
There were not twenty tourists when I first went there nearly four decades ago. Now on some days they say there are close to a hundred thousand in the town. ” For a while, many natives concurred. ”There is a debate over whether or not Hemingway was positive for the identity of the sanfermines,” acknowledged Julian Balduz, the city’s mayor.
”What happened is that Hemingway put the sanfermines at the disposition of the whole world, and the whole world doesn’t fit into Pamplona. ” Yet the fact is that the number of foreign tourists – as distinct from Spaniards who descend upon Pamplona – has dropped off in recent years; the eight days of merry-making and bullfights, from July 6 to July 14, are dominated by native Spaniards in their uniforms of white pants, white shirts, red sashes and red scarves and rope-soled shoes.
- (This time I, too, decked myself out in this gear and, to my surprise, felt quite at ease in it;
- The wine helped, too;
- ) A hard core of perhaps 200 Americans and Englishmen returns annually to Pamplona for the fiesta;
One of their leaders is Matt Carney, a model from Paris who achieved momentary notoriety by insulting Hemingway during his 1959 manifestation in Pamplona; another is Jeff Garth, a T. steward, who was gored this season during the encierro. For this crowd, a goring is akin to apotheosis.
The American college students, with their well-thumbed paperback copies of ”The Sun Also Rises,” seem to check in for the opening days, but then drift south to the Costa del Sol or east to the Costa Brava.
But even these seem to be thinning out. ”There are fewer groupies and fringe people,” commented Allen Josephs, a professor from the University of West Florida who is writing a book on Hemingway and Spain. ”Some people have complained that Hemingway ruined Pamplona and the sanfermines.
That’s nonsense. It’s still an entirely Basque festival and a Spanish festival. ” Carlos Barrena, an eminent bullight critic from Bilbao who has been going to the sanfermines for 27 years, concurs: ”It is more comfortable for us now than it was during the Hemingway boom years.
” The festival has two ingredients: wine and bulls. The Basques are good drinkers, which is a mercy in such an alcoholic event. Women seem to move around without much danger of being pinched or menaced. The rhythm of the day is set by early rising, or no sleeping, because of the 8 A.
running of the bulls. After this event, many younger people flop in the city’s gardens and sleep until lunch, which in Spain is usually eaten at about 2 P. A preferred place to flop seems to be the gardens around the old fortress behind the cathedral.
A good place for lunch – now we are in Hemingway’s poignant late-in-life footsteps – is Marceliano’s down behind the ayuntamiento, or city hall, ”. where we went in the morning to eat and drink and sing after the encierro; Marceliano’s where the wood of the tables and the stairs is as clean as the teak decks of a yacht except that the tables are honorably wine-spilled.
The wine was as good as when you were twenty-one, and the food as marvelous as always. ” I had a blue trout and a green salad and talked to three gnarled men from San Sebastian about the bulls. In Spanish, you don’t go to a bullfight -the term does not exist – you go to the bulls, ”a los toros.
” The expression hints at the centrality of this mysterious animal, who is applauded when he is dragged out of the ring dead if he was good, and stupid, in the last minutes of his life. As Hemingway found throughout his life, Spaniards are perplexed to come across an American who is interested in the bulls, or who knows a little bit about them: it is as if the American has crashed some secret society whose membership is determined by blood.
I am no expert, but I used to go to the bulls in Spain as I go to the opera in Germany, so I know something about them. My friend Javier Pradera, who really knows about them, recently consoled me in my ignorance with a remark attributed to the matador Luis Miguel Dominguin: ”Nobody knows about the bulls except the cows, and not all of them do.
” The toreros, or bullfighters, go to Pamplona because it has the second biggest plaza de toros after Madrid, which means they get paid well. But they don’t like the unserious, drunken spectators who prance and cavort on the low-price, sunny side – raining cushions and hunks of bread down onto the picador when displeased – and they don’t like the big bulls that traditionally come to the sanfermines.
I was lucky to get good sombra seats – for $36 a fight on the scalpers’ market outside the ring – and see a few good moments and one spectacular kill, and, as my companion from Oak Park put it in 1932: ”It is impossible to believe the emotional and spiritual intensity and pure, classic beauty that can be produced by a man, an animal and a piece of scarlet serge draped over a cape.
” Yet at the San Fermin fights this year the bulls were better than the men, – and that is as good an omen for the fiesta nacional as a pitcher throwing a bunch of no-hitters would be for the Yankees. The literature on bullfighting often seems nothing but a series of laments for a golden age that, when it existed, was being lamented for not being as good as the one before it.
Hemingway falls a bit into this mode in ”The Dangerous Summer,” the rambling epic he wrote for Life magazine before he shot himself. It is satisfying to be able to report that in Spain today a consensus among aficionados is building that both bulls and toreros are rising out of the decadence to which they had been condemned.
At the same time, the corrida has been embraced anew by many who at the time of Franco’s death in 1975 spurned it as a legacy of a dark, retrograde, anti-European Spain; the same is true of flamenco. Having become a stable European democracy, Spain may now have rediscovered the pleasures of being itself.
- In ”The Sun Also Rises” the beautiful foothills of the Pyrenees are -with the quasi-religious experience of the bullfight – the moral counterpoint to the debauchery of Jake’s lost-generation friends;
So it is necessary, and uplifting, to leave wine-soaked Pamplona for a one-hour drive up to the village of Burguete, which sits at 2,982 feet, and to the Irati river, where Jake and Bill do some heavy male bonding and catch trout. In his fiction, Hemingway is not always a reliable guide to geography and place, which he shunts about for higher literary purposes.
He makes us believe, for example, that one can see the monastery of Roncesvalles from Burguete; it is not possible to do so, but the linkage heightens the religious overtones of Jake and Bill’s quest. Even Allen Josephs, with all his research, has not been able to figure out exactly where Jake, or Hemingway himself, fished the Irati, a pretty, shallow, swift-moving river that winds through green hills where you can walk for hours without seeing another human being.
On his return to the foothills in 1959, Hemingway found them as unspoiled as they are now, and drove ”further up that lovely trout stream into the great virgin forest of the Irati that was unchanged since the time of the Druids. ” He declined to give details of his movements or his secret trout spot, ”because we want to go back there again and not find fifty cars or jeeps have found it.
” He never made it back. At the Bar Zubiondo, which is next to a rickety bridge over the Irati in the hamlet of Arive, I made some inquiries about the famous American writer, but the proprietor, pumping a cafe solo, confessed: ”The Irati is very long, so I don’t know where it would have been.
” She had only dimly heard of Hemingway: the Irati had triumphed even over him. So I had no choice but to respect Ernesto’s secret. Somewhere above Arive, I plunged into the underbrush and had a picnic of bread, rosado wine, plums, pears and peaches on a little stone beach by the river.
I didn’t catch any trout, or even try, but I think I saw one jump. The capital and the country The prices given are for two people, with tax. Hotel prices also include breakfast for two. (The area code for Pamplona is 948, for Madrid 91.

What did Hemingway say about Spain?
In addition to fresh critical responses to some of Hemingway’s most famous novels and stories, a particular strength of Hemingway’s Spain is its consideration of neglected works, such as Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War stories and The Dangerous Summer.
The collection is noteworthy for its attention to how Hemingway’s post–World War II fiction revisits and reimagines his earlier Spanish works, and it brings new light both to Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War politics and his reception in Spain during the Franco years.
Hemingway’s lifelong engagement with Spain is central to understanding and appreciating his work, and Hemingway’s Spain is an indispensable exploration of Hemingway’s home away from home. He is the author of Ernest Hemingway: Thought in Action and Reading Hemingway’s Across the River and into the Trees (The Kent State University Press, 2015), and, with Mark P.
Ott, he is the coeditor of Ernest Hemingway and the Geography of Memory (The Kent State University Press, 2010).

Which side did Hemingway support in the Spanish Civil War?
From the Spanish Civil War to the Middle East conflict, war has always drawn writers and photographers like Ernest Hemingway and Robert Capa, author Amanda Veill tells DW, though it hasn’t done them much good. DW: In your nonfiction book “Hotel Florida: Truth, Love, and Death in the Spanish Civil War” you write about three couples that participated in the war, which began 80 years ago on July 17, 1936: The writers Ernest Hemingway (pictured, center) and Martha Gellhorn are the most famous ones, followed by photographers Robert Capa and Gerda Taro. Why did you choose these perspectives when writing about the Spanish Civil War? Amanda Vaill Amanda Vaill: I’ve long been attracted to the ways in which culture changed over the course of the 20th century, and the Spanish Civil War seemed to offer an especially dramatic look at that. It was the first major conflict to be covered on the spot, at the front lines, by journalists and photographers. As an ideological conflict between the right and the left, it attracted not just run-of-the-mill war correspondents but a number of the most important writers and cultural figures of its day, all of them determined to cover what one of them, the journalist Claud Cockburn, called “the decisive thing of this century.
” To bring the conflict and its coverage to life I chose to write about two of the most celebrated artists involved in it: Ernest Hemingway – whose most successful book, “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” was based on his war experience – and Robert Capa, whose reputation was established by the extraordinary photographs he took during it.
To provide the Spanish viewpoint, without which I couldn’t have written the book, I included Arturo Barea, whose career as a writer began as a result of his dangerous and courageous work in the war. And to counterbalance these men – because the Spanish Civil War was also the first conflict in which women served in the military and as combat journalists – I wrote about the three women involved with them, each of whom did work that was just as outstanding: Martha Gellhorn, Gerda Taro, and Ilsa Kulcsar.
- Finally, I took as an inspiration something Hemingway said: “It is very dangerous to write the truth in war;
- ” Each of these men and women was trying, after his or her fashion, to tell the truth about something very complicated, and the ways in which each succeeded, in their work and in their lives, was a story I wanted to write;
Compared to World War I and II, knowledge of the Spanish Civil War (July 17, 1936-April 1, 1939) is not particularly widespread. In your narrative historical book, you describe how the first internal conflict of Spanish Republican troops struggling against the fascist dictator Francisco Franco takes on a bigger focus.
Why was the Civil War in Spain relevant for what happened afterwards in Europe? The Spanish Civil War started in 1936 when pro-fascist Nationalists under the leadership of Francisco Franco, encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church and the country’s landed aristocracy, staged an armed rebellion against Spain’s democratically elected but emphatically Socialist-leaning coalition government.
At this point, years of worldwide economic depression had left many in doubt about the wisdom of free-market capitalism; National Socialism for some, and communism for others, appeared to offer alternatives, and Spain became a proxy battleground where these ideologies could be tested militarily.
It wasn’t an equal struggle, though. The western democracies, which were still traumatized by the carnage of the Great War of 1914-1918, imposed an official arms embargo on both sides in Spain; but Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy immediately sent men and material to Franco.
Although the Soviet Union began advising and arming the Loyalists and urging unofficial brigades of left-leaning foreigners to join them, the Loyalists were still at a severe disadvantage. Three years and 400,000 lives later, they lost the battle. But the war itself continued, as Hitler and Mussolini applied the military lessons they’d learned in Spain – including how to exploit the passivity of France, England, and the United States – to launching the Second World War. Was it the first time that so many international people, especially from cultural fields, supported one side in a war? Ernest Hemingway (second from left) and Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens (left. ) visit troops during the Spanish Civil War Intellectuals have often involved themselves in war, at least retroactively, but because the Spanish Civil War was primarily about ideas and not territory it seemed to demand intellectual or artistic commitment.
Ernest Hemingway was the most prominent foreigner among the writers, journalists and actors that sided with the Spanish Republicans and traveled to Spain. Also present where the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the British writer George Orwell, the German actor Ernst Busch and the writer Erich Weinert.
On the left, the Comintern – the worldwide union of domestic Communist parties – and other groups organized numerous congresses and conferences of concerned intellectuals, such as the meeting of the League of American Writers addressed by Hemingway in New York, and the International Congress of Writers for the Defense of Culture held in Valencia and Madrid.
- Left-leaning periodicals such as “Ce Soir” in France and “Ken” in the United States were founded to spread news and opinions to like-minded readers, and left-wing filmmakers such as Joris Ivens made documentary films in support of the Loyalists;
Although they were countered on the right by many establishment newspapers such as “The New York Times,” by publications of the Roman Catholic Church, and by groups such as Action Française , the left seemed to win the battle of numbers intellectually.
- It didn’t do them a lot of good, obviously;
- But on both sides, whether the work was manipulative propaganda or a sincere attempt to grapple with serious issues, it did provide an example of public intellectualism that was carried on in the days after World War II by the Existentialists and, in the United States, by both the New Left and the Neo-Conservatives, by those writers and artists involved with the Baader-Meinhof gang [in Germany], and many others;
The violence in the Middle East certainly attracts intellectual involvement, or at least comment, today, and I think that some of the ambiguity and difficulty of the issues in the Spanish Civil War is reflected there as well. During and after the Spanish Civil War the way of reporting from a war changed because young photographer Robert Capa and Gerda Taro started to get close to the action.
Capa carried on this new method of war photography during World War II and became the most significant war photographer of the 20th century. Martha Gellhorn started her long carrier as a war correspondent in Spain.
Does their new war journalism still have an impact on today’s way of reporting from wars and conflicts? Capa famously said, “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough. ” Certainly he lived and died by that maxim – as did Gerda Taro, who was killed in Spain covering the Battle of Brunete.
It has become more and more dangerous to write the truth in war, as Hemingway described it, and correspondents are often killed covering their stories. Capa, Taro, Ernie Pyle, George Steer, Dickey Chapelle, Marie Colvin, Anja Niedringhaus – the list is long and getting longer, since the conflict in the Middle East today has claimed more journalists’ lives than any other.
In the name of a full and accurate picture of what is happening, we now ask those reporting on war to be on the firing line with combatants, to expose themselves to the same risks. Unless and until drones are used for combat photography I don’t see things getting less dangerous and probably not even then.

What did Hemingway do during the Spanish Civil War?
Although Hemingway was initially opposed to American involvement in the war, his work as a correspondent in Spain caused him to abandon his former isolationist stance and become an active proponent for military intervention in Spain. During the 1930s, Ernest Hemingway observed with dismay the rise of fascism in Europe.
What is the connection between Spain and Ernest Hemingway?
and Mark Cirino – Description Essays that explore Hemingway’s love for Spain Ernest Hemingway famously called Spain “the country that I loved more than any other except my own,” and his forty-year love affair with it provided an inspiration and setting for major works from each decade of his career: The Sun Also Rises, Death in the Afternoon, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Dangerous Summer, and The Garden of Eden; his only full-length play, The Fifth Column ; the Civil War documentary The Spanish Earth; and some of his finest short fiction, including “Hills Like White Elephants” and “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.
” In Hemingway’s Spain, Carl P. Eby and Mark Cirino collect thirteen penetrating and innovative essays by scholars of different nationalities, generations, and perspectives who explore Hemingway’s writing about Spain and his relationship to Spanish culture and ask us in a myriad of ways to rethink how Hemingway imagined Spain—whether through a modernist mythologization of the Spanish soil, his fascination with the bullfight, his interrogation of the relationship between travel and tourism, his involvement with Spanish politics, his dialog with Spanish writers, or his appreciation of the subtleties of Spanish values.
In addition to fresh critical responses to some of Hemingway’s most famous novels and stories, a particular strength of Hemingway’s Spain is its consideration of neglected works, such as Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War stories and The Dangerous Summer. The collection is noteworthy for its attention to how Hemingway’s post–World War II fiction revisits and reimagines his earlier Spanish works, and it brings new light both to Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War politics and his reception in Spain during the Franco years.
What bar did Hemingway frequent in Madrid?
The Cervecería Alemana was one of Hemingway’s favorite bars in Madrid. Located in the Plaza Santa Ana, it’s one of the best spots in Madrid for a relaxing beer on a nice day. They still have his favorite table reserved for him, right next to the window. Above the table, there is a framed picture of Don Ernesto himself.
Hemingway loved bullfighting so much he wrote his first non-fiction book, Death in the Afternoon , about bullfighting. According to Hemingway, the Plaza de Toros in Madrid is where a young matador first presented himself to the bullfighting world.
He later wrote another non-fiction book called The Dangerous Summer about a rivalry between two bullfighters. In Death in the Afternoon , Hemingway proclaims Madrid to be, “the most Spanish of all cities, the best to live in, the finest people…” With a flair for the dramatic, Hemingway even adds, “it makes you feel very badly, all question of immortality aside, to know that you will have to die and never see it again.
- ” Botín was Hemingway’s favorite restaurant in Madrid;
- He would always order the suckling pig, or cochinillo;
- He would often sit on the second floor to work on his writing;
- In the final scene of The Sun Also Rises , Jake and Brett go there for lunch after drinking a martini at The Palace Hotel (yes, a martini before lunch!) This was a hotel he stayed at when he was covering the Spanish Civil War;
It is now called the Hotel Trypt Gran Vía. There used to be a second floor breakfast room named after him, but the concierge told me that they remodeled it a few years ago. To this day, a plaque hangs outside the hotel to honor his stay there. “From the Hotel Gran Via, Ernest Hemingway wrote in 1936 his best stories about the Spanish Civil War.
” While he stayed there, he was compiling the stories that would become For Whom the Bell Tolls about the brutal Civil War. There is also a plaque hanging outside the Hotel Suecia, honoring his stay there.
The bartender at the lobby bar told me that the bar wasn’t there during Hemingway’s time, but there’s a cocktail bar in the basement that he did frequent. The Prado was Hemingway’s favorite museum and he used to spend hours wandering it’s halls. Hemingway once wrote that if Madrid “had nothing else than the Prado, it would be worth spending a month in every spring.
- ” He used to stay at The Palace Hotel, which was just across the street, so he could go there as much as possible;
- Hemingway was famous for frequenting this poorly-lighted place while covering the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s;
It was one of the main spots that all the war reporters gathered. This famous cocktail bar is located in the center of Madrid on the Gran Via. It’s patron include everyone from Frank Sinatra to Penelope Cruz. But somehow, Hemingway’s name rises above the rest when you talk about it.
- The menu even pays an homage to him with a Hemingway-inspired cocktail;
- The Venencia is hands down my favorite bar in Madrid;
- When you enter, it feels like you walked in to the 1930s;
- The cash register is made of wood;
There is an array of old bottles behind the bar for decoration, each with a layer of dust as a testament to its age. There are only five drinks you can order on the menu, all of them sherry: Manzanilla, Fino, Acortado, Amontillado, and Oloroso. When you order, the bartenders write your tab on the bar countertop with white chalk.
And you aren’t allowed to tip. I’ve been chased down the bar over a “keep the change” comment before. They won’t speak English to you. There are no photos allowed, and you are reminded by signs all around the bar.
I read online that this was because it was a Republican bar during the Spanish Civil War, and they were worried about Fascist spies. But when I asked the bartender about the no camera rule, he simply said, “It’s just annoying for us. ” Obviously they don’t have to worry about Fascist spies anymore, so currently it’s the last defense against the selfie brigade.
I asked the bartender about Hemingway and he shook his head, as if he was disappointed in me. “He did come here,” he explained. “But it wasn’t one of his favorites. He was just a drunk. He went to every bar in Madrid, and this was one of them.
It’s a myth. ” This was Hemingway’s favorite hotel in Madrid because it was right across from the Prado museum. It has an ornate façade and a swanky interior. In the final scene of The Sun Also Rises , Jake and Brett enjoy a martini in the hotel bar here before going to Botín.
- I went to the bar and ordered a martini and asked the bartender about Hemingway;
- He told me that when Hemingway stayed there, the bar was actually on the other side of the hotel so it wasn’t the exact same bar, but the same hotel;
Good enough for me. Check out the podcast episode I recored with Hemingway scholar Wayne Catan. And I created a YouTube video where I take you on virtual tour of Hemingway’s favorite bars in Madrid. Along the way, I have a drink or two in his honor at some of Don Ernesto’s favorite places to get drunk in Madrid. load)

The Spanish Civil War ( Spanish : Guerra Civil Española ) [note 2] was a civil war in Spain fought from 1936 to 1939 between the Republicans and the Nationalists. Republicans were loyal to the left-leaning Popular Front government of the Second Spanish Republic , and consisted of various socialist , communist , separatist , anarchist , and republican parties, some of which had opposed the government in the pre-war period.
The opposing Nationalists were an alliance of Falangists , monarchists , conservatives , and traditionalists led by a military junta among whom General Francisco Franco quickly achieved a preponderant role.
Due to the international political climate at the time, the war had many facets and was variously viewed as class struggle , a religious struggle , a struggle between dictatorship and republican democracy , between revolution and counterrevolution , and between fascism and communism.
According to Claude Bowers , U. ambassador to Spain during the war, it was the ” dress rehearsal ” for World War II. The Nationalists won the war, which ended in early 1939, and ruled Spain until Franco’s death in November 1975.
The war began after a pronunciamiento (a declaration of military opposition, of revolt) against the Republican government by a group of generals of the Spanish Republican Armed Forces , with General Emilio Mola as the primary planner and leader and having General José Sanjurjo as a figurehead.
The government at the time was a coalition of Republicans, supported in the Cortes by communist and socialist parties, under the leadership of centre-left President Manuel Azaña. The Nationalist group was supported by a number of conservative groups, including CEDA , monarchists, including both the opposing Alfonsists and the religious conservative Carlists , and the Falange Española de las JONS , a fascist political party.
After the deaths of Sanjurjo, Emilio Mola and Manuel Goded Llopis , Franco emerged as the remaining leader of the Nationalist side. The coup was supported by military units in Morocco , Pamplona , Burgos , Zaragoza , Valladolid , Cádiz , Córdoba , and Seville.
However, rebelling units in almost all important cities—such as Madrid , Barcelona , Valencia , Bilbao , and Málaga —did not gain control, and those cities remained under the control of the government.
This left Spain militarily and politically divided. The Nationalists and the Republican government fought for control of the country. The Nationalist forces received munitions, soldiers, and air support from Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany , while the Republican side received support from the Soviet Union and Mexico.
- Other countries, such as the United Kingdom , France , and the United States , continued to recognise the Republican government but followed an official policy of non-intervention;
- Despite this policy, tens of thousands of citizens from non-interventionist countries directly participated in the conflict;
They fought mostly in the pro-Republican International Brigades , which also included several thousand exiles from pro-Nationalist regimes. The Nationalists advanced from their strongholds in the south and west, capturing most of Spain’s northern coastline in 1937.
- They also besieged Madrid and the area to its south and west for much of the war;
- After much of Catalonia was captured in 1938 and 1939, and Madrid cut off from Barcelona, the Republican military position became hopeless;
Following the fall without resistance of Barcelona in January 1939, the Francoist regime was recognised by France and the United Kingdom in February 1939. On 5 March 1939, Colonel Segismundo Casado led a military coup against the Republican government.
Following internal conflict between Republican factions in Madrid in the same month, Franco entered the capital and declared victory on 1 April 1939. Hundreds of thousands of Spaniards fled to refugee camps in southern France.
Those associated with the losing Republicans who stayed were persecuted by the victorious Nationalists. Franco established a dictatorship in which all right-wing parties were fused into the structure of the Franco regime. The war became notable for the passion and political division it inspired and for the many atrocities that occurred.
- Organised purges occurred in territory captured by Franco’s forces so they could consolidate their future regime;
- Mass executions on a lesser scale also took place in areas controlled by the Republicans, with the participation of local authorities varying from location to location;

When did Hemingway fight in Spain?
Abstract – Next year will mark 80 years since the outbreak in 1936 of Spain’s Civil War. This brutal war lasted for nearly three years (July 1936-March 1939), claiming at least one-half million lives and sending another one-half million refugees into exile.
- For Ernest Hemingway, the fight against General Francisco Franco became a cause of utmost importance;
- In March 1937, he traveled to Madrid to observe conditions firsthand;
- Reporting on the war for the North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA), Hemingway penned 31 dispatches from Spain;
He also helped to produce a pro-Republican film, “The Spanish Earth. ” His experiences during the civil war provided the material for what many consider to be Hemingway’s most famous novel, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” (1940). This presentation touches on debates related to Hemingway’s presence in Spain and his actions on behalf of the Republic.
What is the connection between Spain and Ernest Hemingway?
and Mark Cirino – Description Essays that explore Hemingway’s love for Spain Ernest Hemingway famously called Spain “the country that I loved more than any other except my own,” and his forty-year love affair with it provided an inspiration and setting for major works from each decade of his career: The Sun Also Rises, Death in the Afternoon, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Dangerous Summer, and The Garden of Eden; his only full-length play, The Fifth Column ; the Civil War documentary The Spanish Earth; and some of his finest short fiction, including “Hills Like White Elephants” and “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.
” In Hemingway’s Spain, Carl P. Eby and Mark Cirino collect thirteen penetrating and innovative essays by scholars of different nationalities, generations, and perspectives who explore Hemingway’s writing about Spain and his relationship to Spanish culture and ask us in a myriad of ways to rethink how Hemingway imagined Spain—whether through a modernist mythologization of the Spanish soil, his fascination with the bullfight, his interrogation of the relationship between travel and tourism, his involvement with Spanish politics, his dialog with Spanish writers, or his appreciation of the subtleties of Spanish values.
In addition to fresh critical responses to some of Hemingway’s most famous novels and stories, a particular strength of Hemingway’s Spain is its consideration of neglected works, such as Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War stories and The Dangerous Summer. The collection is noteworthy for its attention to how Hemingway’s post–World War II fiction revisits and reimagines his earlier Spanish works, and it brings new light both to Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War politics and his reception in Spain during the Franco years.

Where did Hemingway write The Sun Also Rises?
While following the bullfights across Spain, Hemingway would write ‘The Sun Also Rises,’ told from the perspective of character Jake Barnes, a war veteran, and inspired by events that transpired during their time in Pamplona with friends.
Who was Paul Robeson and why did he go to Spain?
Paul Robeson’s concerns about fascism in the 1930s—military aggression, racial injustice, civilian bombings, and forced population displacement—remain issues of our own times. Seven decades later, ALBA’s magazine, The Volunteer , published a comic titled Robeson in Spain , detailing Robeson’s activism and dedication to the Spanish cause. It is ALBA’s hope that this work of art, history, and research can be embraced and appreciated by students of history and by the public as a way to convey the progressive ideals of Paul Robeson and the volunteers of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
By the mid-1930s, Paul Robeson had achieved international acclaim as an actor, singer, and public personality who criticized racism. The rise and expansion of fascism in Germany and Italy and other parts of the world intensified his concerns about the precarious state of democracy, freedom, and social justice.
After the Spanish Civil War began in 1936, Robeson threw his support behind the elected government. “The artist must take sides,” he announced. He sang often to raise funds for children displaced by the war and appealed for assistance to the Spanish Republic.
In 1938, he and his wife, Eslanda , went to Spain to learn directly about the fascist threat and to support the soldiers defending democracy. Three years later, after Spain had fallen to the pro-fascist dictator, General Francisco Franco and World War II had begun, the American survivors of the Spanish Civil War made Paul Robeson an honorary member of the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
The ‘Robeson In Spain’ project also includes two lesson plans, multimedia primary resources, and an extensive bibliography to facilitate the teaching and learning about the Spanish Civil War and the commitment of men and women from other countries to preserve democratic ideals. The African-American Paul Robeson, a large man with a deep voice, achieved great distinction as an athlete, singer, actor, scholar, and supporter of social justice. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Robeson graduated from Rutgers University with honors. He excelled in sports (All-American in football). He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1923 and married Eslanda Cordozo Goode. He won fame as an actor on stage and screen.
“The artist must elect to fight for freedom or for slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative. ” – Paul Robeson, 1937. In the popular musical Showboat , Robeson sang “Ol’ Man River. ” The rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s awakened Robeson’s political activism.
He sang benefit concerts to assist Jewish refugees from Hitler’s Germany and to support Spain’s democracy during the Spanish Civil War. His mounting concern over fascist Germany’s and Italy’s direct support of the Spanish insurgents, and the western democracies’ refusal to assist the legitimate government, led him to visit the war-torn country in January 1938.
He called his 1938 trip to Spain “a major turning point in my life. “He became an outspoken critic of U. segregation and lynching. In 1939, he recorded “Ballad for Americans,” a work that celebrated diversity and multiculturalism.
Robeson’s demand for equality and his opposition to the Cold War in the 1940s angered conservatives, who called Robeson a Communist. His refusal to be silent led to violent attacks at a concert in Peekskill, New York, in 1949. His criticism of the Korean War led the U.
government to revoke his passport (later overturned by the Supreme Court), which limited his travels until 1956. He died after a long illness at the age of 77. To learn more about Paul Robeson, see our bibliography.
The Spanish Civil War began as a rebellion, led by General Francisco Franco, against the legally elected Republican government in July 1936. The rebels opposed liberal changes, such as land reforms and provisions for women’s education, legal divorce, and the right to vote.
- In large cities, such as Madrid and Barcelona, civilian militias successfully resisted the military uprising, but Franco appealed to Europe’s fascist dictators, Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy, who sent armed forces to Spain;
In 1937 German planes bombed the town of Guernica, an atrocity that inspired Pablo Picasso’s most famous painting. The Spanish Civil War continued until April 1939, when the victorious generals captured Madrid. Learn more about the Spanish Civil War here.
