Mexico:
Est: $700 - $1,000
One of the earliest Mexican travel books to the Holy Land. Guzman not only narrates his trip but also discusses the culture and history of the region in a chapter entitled: “Cosas notables de la Palestina y otras partes del levante.” Of interest is the comment here by the Christian author protesting the fact that los judíos viven como extranjeros en su propia patria ("the Jews live as foreigners in their own homeland.").
