Santiago acquires the help from an old gypsy woman who tells him to go to Egypt to find the treasure. On his journey to the Pyramids, he meets an eerie old man by the name, Melchizedek

and this is what Lorca hoped to achieve, a collection of mythical stories set in a part real and part imaginary ancient Andalusia, told in ballad-format and using the gypsies as its main characters because it was this race, ancient, timeless and mysterious, that, through songs, dances and traditions passed down through generations, were most able to project the ancient Andalusia that Lorca wanted to portray.

In The Alchemist, Coehlo says, “The hills of Andalusia were only two hours away, but there was an entire desert between him and the Pyramidst” (Coehlo 64).

The Alchemist by Paul Coelho starts off with a shepherd boy named Santiago. He grew up on the countryside of Andalusia with his herd of sheep. They traveled far and wide, all over the region seeing new sites and meeting new people. He had been having the same reoccurring dream that haunted him for some time now so he decided to go into the village of Tarifa to visit a Gypsy woman that could interpret dreams.
