Q1: What modes of persuasion are used in this text?:

The text uses several modes of persuasion to grasp, and attract the reader's attention. Firstly, the text includes personal experiences of staying at the Hotel 'Palacio Del Retiro', and Hotel 'Palacio de Santa Paula', which provides credibility to the reader. The experiences shed light on the different hotel accommodations each hotel provides which include venues, 'flamenco' dance schools in Madrid & Grenada, and etc. These firsthand accounts help for the author to connect the article more towards the reader, making it feel more relatable, understandable, and credible due to the accuracy, and detail of the shared experiences. Secondly, the article features descriptive information regarding each destination. For instance, the article mentions the distance of the '4.5' hour drive from Madrid to Grenada. This gives readers a sense of direction as to what they should expect from the trip, and also contributes to their comfort regarding the destinations they plan on visiting. More importantly, the text also successfully utilises the 'Ethos', 'Pathos', and 'Logos' persuasion methods. Firstly, the text uses Ethos as it almost immediately associates itself with 'Travel Tales' which is a relatively renowned travelling program.

Secondly, the text utilises 'Ethos' as it uses compelling language when referring to the flamenco dance as a "singularly moving experience", which invokes emotions of curiosity, and excitement amongst readers. Lastly, the text utilises the persuasive technique of 'Logos' as it logically, and structurally informs readers of events, venues, travelling times, and etc, which allow for the readers to logically, and rationally plan out their trip(s).
