Краткое описание: Los Cabos, the unrestrained big shot of Baja California, is three distinct personalities rolled into one. San José del Cabo is a traditional yet refined Mexican town with a central plaza, historic adobe buildings, a municipal market and narrow streets to remind you that, yes indeed, this is Mexico. While San José clings - however precariously - to its Mexican past, Cabo San Lucas is bent more upon partying and its fashionable good looks than maintaining any sort of tradition or, for that matter, sensible plans for the future.

Краткое описание: Let’s say you wake one morning in Austria and make your way bleary-eyed to a newspaper stand. What you see in the press will probably be at odds with this country you imagine: nothing about those idyllic mountain lakes or spectacular snow-dusted peaks, or even a picture of sweaty mountain bikers in centrifugal frenzy on a windswept forest trail. You are more likely to be greeted by the news that Austrian farmers are dying out, that state finances have been squandered on 18 Eurofighter jets, the ruling coalition government lacks true leadership, and that Austria’s youth is guzzling itself comatose on alcopops.

Краткое описание: It’s a totally inhospitable place, you shouldn’t be here, the sun, you live about three quarters of a mile from it, I’ve seen insects walking around with kneepads, you fling yourselves into the sea when you’re not actually walking around audibly crackling in the heat and the sea is full of jellyfish and sharks and other things who hate you, but you persist in living here... So you know, it’s a jail, you live in, it’s lovely, you’ve done wonderful things with it, but you’re all still in denial.

Краткое описание: Andalucia is as big as Portugal so you need to think ahead about where and how you want to spend your time. Take account of the travel time between destinations: you could drive right across Andalucia along the main highways in seven or eight hours, but cross-country roads and coastal routes are slower. The Itineraries chapter gives ideas for routes geared to different interests and periods of time. Don’t try to do too much: hurrying is a waste of your time here. A good strategy is to build your trip around a few chosen destinations but to also allow time.

Краткое описание: You’re nursing a drink in a canal café when you hear Bach. A man with a wild hairdo is playing organ and trumpet on a nutshell of a boat, while his feet do the steering. Only in Amsterdam...

…and back by popular demand. After a few years’ pout, this beautiful city has found its old self - quirky, creative and open-minded. Yet beneath the self-assured exterior, mental notes are everywhere. Not long ago the Netherlands swung towards the right, with crackdowns on immigration, religious freedom and red-light districts. Even in freewheeling Amsterdam, people were asking themselves: is too much tolerance a bad thing?
