I like this word, I like the weigh it carries and all the associations that it evokes. Even though most of the time the things are not the way they should be and travelling is not as it was. But, in the times of easy tourism by flying I´d better be happy with overlanding. The […]
When you think of a capital you tend to think of the plenty, embodied in the many cars, many people & many shops that are jammed in it and all the stressful words such as traffic, parking problems or rush hour that are associated with the concept of a capital. But Banjul is different with […]
Hace tiempo que había oído o leído algo acerca de este particular pueblo situado en el sureste de Mali. Sólo recordaba que era una región muy diferente al resto del país y con la herencia de los pobladores pigmeos que para refugiarse de los animales salvajes habían construido sus casas en lugares imposibles, excavadas en […]

Before heading to Guinea we noticed that notoriously enough it did not appear on the travel route of hardly any tourists, […]
3 months ago I even didn´t know where or what Bamako was. In Mali? Well, where was Mali then? And as soon as we got moving, leaving Madrid in the last hectic day of finishing off the house moving we knew that our next stop will be Bamako. This way we could start the trip […]
Es habitual ver en las calles de cualquier ciudad o pueblo de Mauritania basura amontonada o dispersa por doquier. Pero el viajero que pasa por este país no puede pasar por alto la cantidad de cabras sueltas que hay en las ciudades, alimentándose de todo lo que encuentran a su paso y felices de encontrar […]
