Delibes Summary

Chapter three of Delibes’ El Camino starts with Daniel expressing the significance of the valley where he has lived since he was born. He narrates from his perspective how the village seems isolated, but also, that it is connected from north to the south to both ‘la parda y reseca llanura de Castilla y buscaban la llanura azul del mar’, (Delibes 43) by the railroad and the road. He reflects on how him and his friend Roque would just sit and watch the village in the summer, and how Roque would reflect upon ideas that he normally would not admit to have after dusk. He also describes how the village functions, some of the people in it and the social situation.
The chapter is descriptive, seen through Daniels eyes we get an insight into his relationship
