Barcelona
Barcelona is a mosaic of landscapes and atmospheres: the port and the Rambla, the Gothic route around Ciutat Vella, Eixample, Modernism and Gaud穩, the Olympic urban planning, the museums and sculptures, leisure and night life...

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. Later on, Emperor Hadrian dedicated these words to the city: "Tarraco, the city where spring is eternal". 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!
Costa Brava
Through the eyes of Jordi Puig and the words of Vador Minobis, we take you all along the Costa Brava, from Portbou to Blanes, stopping at the 100 best coves and beaches, all of which are full of beauty and allure. Along the way, with us we will have the writer Sebasti? Roig, who till tell us how the glamour of Hollywood disembarked here with Ava Gardner, Orson Welles or Kirk Douglas, among many other stars, and the illustrator Ana Yael, who brings life, art and humour into the maps of the most fascinating coastline in the Mediterranean.

Montserrat
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). It provides an overview of the massif with its dozens of whimsically shaped peaks with their thought-provoking nicknames. You will also find excursions that are suitable for everyone, regardless of age, physical fitness or time available, as well as cultural attractions like the museum; the boys' choir, the Escolania; the Espai d'Art Sean Scully; and the Aula de Natura interpretation centre, to name just some.
Park G羹ell
This work discloses the mysteries of the Park and shows us Gaud穩 and G羹ell, daring, eclectic, Catholic, freemasons, syncretists and even jokers. The reader will find the pleasure of meticulous investigation combined with the interpretative audacity of a historical mystery novel.
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.
