This new, thoroughly updated, third edition of The Basque Country and Navarre, Bradt's award-winning guidebook, remains the most in-depth guide to a multi-lingual, multi-cultural borderland that is neither Spain nor France, but straddles the Pyrenees, mountains that divide the two countries. Bradt's guide offers real insights into a profound regional identity, uncovering the peculiarities which imbue the area with intrigue and takes you way beyond the delightful, well-known cities into the heart of the beautiful Basque countryside. Deep-seated Basque traditions, singular cuisine, world-class wine, strange sports, unique language, bold art and architecture all converge to showcase a land that continues to mystify and reveal itself the more you visit. Secluded valleys and rugged mountains, wild coastlines and the vestiges of industry long gone provide a strange mix that pays homage to a troubled past, a lively present and a constant reinvention that promises an exciting future for the Basques. Large and sparsely populated, little known and little visited, neighbouring Navarre offers natural attractions ranging from high Pyrenees to arid semi-desert. This former kingdom's troublesome history is waymarked by lonely hilltop castles, but only in the frenetic, bull-running days of Pamplona's San Fermin festival does it announce itself noisily on the world stage, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors to Ernest Hemingway's favourite party town. With advice on where to walk, cycle, horseride, surf and birdwatch accompanying traditional listings of where to stay and eat, author Murray Stewart guides travellers through this increasingly popular area. Find the best pintxos (tapas) and txakoli wine, the finest chuleton (beef chop) and the freshest fish. From elegant Biarritz, via the French Basque Pyrenees, to the Navarran 'badlands' of Bardenas Reales, travel to fascinating, less-visited places that host thrilling local festivals. New elements in this edition include a host of elegant hotels in San Sebastian, the city-on-the-beach, transport improvements, new restaurants serving culinary specialities, a major reconfiguration of Bilbao's Bellas Artes museum and constantly evolving wine tourism opportunities. Whether you are a hiker or surfer, foodie or cyclist, spiritualist or golfer, let Bradt's The Basque Country and Navarre help you enjoy a fascinating, rewarding holiday. AUTHOR: Since first visiting the Basque Country in 1993, Murray Stewart has been unable to resist the lure of this region that produces surprises each time he returns. In 2016, the opportunity to write the most comprehensive English-language guidebook to the Basque Country was irresistible, especially when the subject-matter was combined with its little-visited but geographically diverse neighbour, Navarre. As a lover of the outdoors, of mountains, of walking and red wine, Murray found his perfect partner in this enigmatic region spanning the Pyrenees. A 20-year career in corporate restructuring has included working in Spain and Bulgaria; language skills honed by time spent teaching in Mexico and Chile, and part-ownership of a house in the Minervois have allowed him to hone his French and Spanish language skills and access the dynamic culture on both sides of the French/Spanish border. He spent months living in the Basque region to research the book's first edition and has reinforced his cultural knowledge with long-distance walks on the Camino de Santiago and the lesser known Camino Ignaciano. (A guidebook written on the latter was short-listed for Best Guidebook of the Year in 2022.) These walks have covered thousands of kilometres and also raised thousands of pounds for hospital and children's charities.

Teatime at Peggy's: a warm, humorous and evocative travel narrative celebrating one of India's fastest-dwindling communities, the Anglo-Indians (mostly descendants of British men and Indian women).

Transylvania (the 'land beyond the forest') is a wild, wooded, intensely romantic region, filled with mountains and gorges, myths and legends, dragons, bears, wolves - and vampires. Bram Stoker called it 'one of the wildest and least-known parts of Europe', a description remaining true today. Comprehensive chapter-per-county coverage caters for the diverse range of interests, from city breaks to rural escapes, skiing to wildlife-watching. One of the most beautiful regions in central Europe and home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Transylvania preserves its cultural and artistic treasures in a landscape bordered on three sides by the Carpathian Mountains, home to Romania's finest skiing and hiking destinations. Hay meadows in the lower Carpathians form a grassland ecosystem of extraordinary natural diversity, offering beautiful displays of wildflowers. The Carpathians are home too to lynx, wild boar and one of Europe's largest populations of brown bear. Other natural phenomena include the Scarisoara ice cave in the Apuseni Mountains and the Sf?nta Ana volcanic crater lake in Harghita.
