Abstract
The Washington Irving''s "Alhambra" story, based on author''s imagination and practical experience, becomes a valuable resource for estimating Andalusia and Andalusians including Spain, especially Granada, in the early 19th century. The image of Spain, which was seen as a backward, anachronistic, and fanatical country in the Age of Enlightenment, was reinterpreted as a country that preserved primitiveness and uniqueness that disappeared under the name of civilization in the Age of Romanticism. It emerged as an exotic and fantastic place that resulted in the ''Alhambra'' and at the same time as a passionate and attractive country embodied in ''Carmen''. But It is regrettable that it is not so different from the reproduction and follow-up of the fixed image that has been created so far in that the regional diversity and multifaceted complexity of Spain were not sufficiently taken into account.
