Memories of the Africa campaign

Gaspar Núñez de Arce was a Spanish writer, academic and politician who lived during the nineteenth century. As a writer he distinguished himself mainly in theater and lyric poetry, with a style that mediates between romanticism and literary realism. He was also a sharp chronicler and journalist during the 1860s.
Between 1859 and 1860 he participated as a reporter in the Africa Campaign, a conflict that pitted Spain against the sultanate of Morocco. Many of these chronicles were published in the liberal newspaper La Iberia. After this experience, he published Memories of the Africa Campaign, a kind of newspaper in which the details of this confrontation are related.
The so-called War of Africa or Morocco, has also been related in the Diary of a witness of the War of Africa by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón.
