journeys

Salvador de Bahia, Brazil.

The first colonial capital, known as Brazil's 'city of happiness'. European, African and American Indian cultures converge here at the spiritual home of Samba, Capoeira, Cachaca and Carnival - the largest party in the world.

Erg Chebbi, Sahara. 

In the Saharan interior of North Africa the Tuareg, a Berber people, are the principal inhabitants. With a traditionally nomadic pastoralist lifestyle, they lead an extremely minimalist existence where everything has a use. Their camel's feces is so dry that it is used to fuel the stove.

Malaga, Spain.

On Andalusia's Costa del Sol Malaga stands as one of the oldest cities in the world, with a history spanning 2800 years. Breakfast at Antigua Casa de Guardia, the oldest bar in town and frequented by Picasso, consists of a couple of glasses of Moscatel sweet fortified wine and tapas of freshly caught oysters, prawns and squid. All for a handful of change.

Mercato di Rialto, Venice

Located near the Rialto Bridge in the heart of the historic centre of Venice, Mercato di Rialto is one of the oldest markets in Venice. Local restaurateurs depend on the vendors for their fruit, vegetables and fish sourced from the lagoon and neighbouring waters.
