The Untold Voyage
"One of the best sailing writers on this planet." Keiran Flatt, Editor, Yachting Monthly.'There was, however, one voyage... and what happened on that voyage was so far beyond the compass of what I thought possible that I have never, until this moment, said or written a single word about it.'Solo sailor Roger D. Taylor has written many books about his voyages to the Arctic. Some years ago, he made a voyage about which, until now, he has remained silent. What happened on that voyage was so unexpected and so devastating that Taylor threw all his logbooks and records overboard while still in the Greenland Sea. It was a voyage he wanted to erase from his memory forever.Time has now healed the traumas of that fateful passage, and Taylor has decided that the moment has come to relate what happened. Using just his memory, he has reconstructed the story of that summer cruise to the Far North and the terrible events that blighted it. In telling this untold story, the author hopes to lay to rest the ghosts which have haunted him for so long.

Cadaqu癡s
Cadaqu矇s, in the 20th century, was discovered by writers and painters in the twenties, and was rediscovered by the bohemian travellers in the sixties. This fishing village, surrounded by a unique geological landscape, became a small republic of the arts. It is not surprising that creators such as Duchamp, Dal穩 or Richard Hamilton turned Cadaqu矇s into their usual, warm and discreet haven. The village, with the quality of its light, the geological relief of the Cap de Creus, the intense blue, the battling north wind, its warm-natured inhabitants and the trace of Salvador Dal穩, does not leave anyone feeling indifferent. Enjoy Cadaqu矇s with the new book format: larger and with new images!In Catalan, Spanish, English & French
Mallorca Essential
Mallorca, in the heart of the western Mediterranea, trasures a large diversity of landscapes.The rugged profile of the Serra de Tramuntana is lined with peaks that, in wintertime, emerge at dawn with a sprinkling of snow. The large inland plains are dotted with villages and tows, perched on hills and proudly watching over their traditions and gastronomy. Wetlands, seabeds and protected areas make up valuable ecosystems in many places around the territory. The island's coastline is lined with heavenly beaches and coves hidden between cliffs, kissed by pristine-clear turquoise and emerald waters.
Tarragona
Tarragona, the ancient Tarraco, was the first Roman city outside Italy and the residence of Emperor Augustus, who made the city the capital of Hispania.

We can see the traces of the classic civilization in its walls, towers, forum, circus and amphitheatre, all of which have been declared as World Heritage by UNESCO, Today, however, Tarragona is about its human heritage: its culture, festivities, gastronomy...which is equally worthy of recognition as are its stones.
Valencia
Valencia is a city that is 150% Mediterranean! It's history, architecture, gastronomy and human relations--that can bee seen in local markets and on the terraces of its bars, and on its sandy beaches--that can be defined as very "Mediterranean". Furthermore, Valencians have added an extra touch of creative exuberance, the best example being their famous festivity of the Fallas, declared UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage; their creativity can also bee seen in the city's Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings, and even in the ultra-modern City of Arts and Science. Absorb and enjoy two thousand years of motley Mediterranean life!

Illes Balears
Only a group of islanders mad about the islands could have concocted a book like this. The photographer Sebasti? Torrens (Inca, 1964) and writers Miquel Ray籀 (Palma, 1952), Pon癟 Pons (Alaior, 1956), Jean Serra (El Biar, Algeria, 1952; the son of an exiled couple from Ibiza) and Antoni Vidal Ferrando (Santany穩, 1945) have conjured up the four elements that in ancient times were believed to shape the world: air, earth, water and fire / light, showing us, through these elements, the nature and landscape of the Balearic Islands. The extraordinary photographs by Sebasti? Torrens of the wildlife and landscape of Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, Formentera and Cabrera, sometimes so delicate and other so striking, are a manifesto in favour of conserving a beauty that only human stupidity would dare to destroy. And Ray籀, Pons, Serra and Vidal Ferrando, with their poetic texts that emerge as the fruit of their radical status of islanders, allow us to share and admire the deep and unconditional love they all feel for the Balearics.

Girona
This is a book of possible itineraries around the city of Girona, which owes as much to the paths forged by traditions as it does to the random meanderings triggered by memories.
