Bront fame touches many parts of the globe.

The parsonage museum in Haworth possesses 26 different translations of Wuthering Heights alone.

America and Japan are considered the world leaders when it comes to overseas interest in the lives and works of Haworth's literary sisters.

But an unlikely contender could soon be competing for shelf space in the rankings - Spain!

Photographer Gonzalo Cruz and journalist Rosa Echeverria, working for the Spanish national daily newspaper ABC, spent two days visiting Bront shrines and the landscape that inspired the 19th-century authors.

They were preparing material for a feature in a top ABC women's magazine and for newspaper articles.

The trip was arranged by Visit Britain.

Day one was spent at the parsonage and around Haworth, and day two at various sites -- including Top Withens -- on the surrounding moors. They later went further afield to look at locations associated with film adaptations of Bront novels.

The duo was accompanied around Haworth by Nicky Godfrey-Evans and Wendy Thompson, both Blue Badge Guides -- who undergo rigorous training and examination by British tourist boards.

Nicky said: "Normally I cover London and Cumbria but we do tours on a regular basis to Bront Country and I'm considered a literary expert, and Wendy has a good knowledge of Spanish, so we teamed up to help the visitors! They enjoyed their stay and were very impressed with what they saw."

On the second day assistance was provided by council countryside officer David Parsons, who took the party to the moorland locations.

He said: "The photographer was over the moon with the different locations and the way the clouds were casting shadows over the landscape -- he complained that all they get in Spain is sun, sun, sun!"
