A Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque city.

An attractiveand diverse coastline of beaches and coves, a high inland thatmakes the province one of the most mountainous in Spain, anda series of perfumed orchards, make up a landscape that is pureMediterranean essence.
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. In Catalan, Spanish, English & German

Montserrat is one of the few places in the world where the beauty of nature, culture and spirituality are so closely intertwined. This is why the Catalans have made it one of their founding symbols. It is a unique spot steeped in culture, a meeting place and a space for personal reflection. This book looks at its history, focusing mainly on the basilica, the monastery and the Santa Cova (Holy Grotto).

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. When all is said and done, a city is the sum total of the wandering passions that shapes each visitor as they walk. Whether you are a local or an incomer, this does not substantially alter the certainty that any landscape -even the ones that are under- pinned by such well-established forms as historic centres -only comes to life through the experience of being there.In Catalan & English
Costa Brava
Based on a systematic research into the touristic image projected through postcards from the 1960s and 70s, Jordi Puig brings us this book to identify the image that, during those years, we managed or wanted to give of the Costa Brava and our country. The book also tells us of the work done by photographers and publishers, folk culture, tradition versus modernity, the architecture and the landscape or how postcards evolved as a form of visual and written expression. And, of course, tourism as a mass cultural phenomenon. In Catalan, Spanish, English & French
