Oscár de la Cinna (1836-1906) was actually Hungarian by birth, and studied piano with Czerny. However, he travelled widely (for example, in 1854 he put on a concert in Stockholm), and visited Mallorca in 1866, subsequently marrying a local girl. After again living in various parts of Europe, he eventually settled in Seville. He had actually been to Seville in the 1850s where he attempted to introduce German repertoire, then little known there, in a recital. He wrote much piano salon music - each piece with its own opus number. The music I have seen is all very well written, and seems to provide a musical bridge between the Spain of Bizet and Delibes, and that of Albeniz and Granados. Had Cinna written this 'poetic thought' from 1885 some 75 years later, he would probably have called it 'Schubert goes to Spain' (in the manner of 'Bach goes to town', 'Handel on the Strand', 'Chopin in the Citrus Belt' etc.). In it, he makes ingenious use of harmonies and keyboard figures from two of Schubert's A minor sonatas (D845 and D784) in the outer sections of the piece, which is also in A minor. The outer sections frame a contrasting 'zapateado' which acts as a sort of 'trio'.
