MADRID (
El País) It's not really Hemingway visiting from his grave, only a little word missing from our headline: 'in', between 'haunts' and 'Madrid'. El País reporter María Hervás writes an excellent tour of Ernest Hemingway's Madrid, a place he visited frequently. "Yet when you get to know it [Madrid], it is the most Spanish of all cities, the best to live in, the finest people, month in and month out the finest climate," wrote Ernest Hemingway in
Death In The Afternoon . The Nobel Literature Prize winner visited Spain on several occasions, and in the 1920s he was here nine times with his family. During the Civil War, in 1937 and 1938, he returned to Madrid as a correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance, and was back again in the 1950s, attracted mostly by the bullfights, especially those featuring his friends Luis Miguel Dominguín and Antonio Ordóñez at Las Ventas.>>>
