| walks in las palmas gran canaria: The Girl Who Reads on the Métro Christine Féret-Fleury, 2019-10-08 “With a cast of characters reminiscent of the French film Amélie, Féret-Fleury creates a world that is delightful and enchanting...Light and sweet as a bonbon, this little confection of a book is delicious.” —Kirkus Reviews For fans of Amélie and The Little Paris Bookshop, a modern fairytale about a French woman whose life is turned upside down when she meets a reclusive bookseller and his young daughter. Juliette leads a perfectly ordinary life in Paris, working a slow office job, dating a string of not-quite-right men, and fighting off melancholy. The only bright spots in her day are her métro rides across the city and the stories she dreams up about the strangers reading books across from her: the old lady, the math student, the amateur ornithologist, the woman in love, the girl who always tears up at page 247. One morning, avoiding the office for as long as she can, Juliette finds herself on a new block, in front of a rusty gate wedged open with a book. Unable to resist, Juliette walks through, into the bizarre and enchanting lives of Soliman and his young daughter, Zaide. Before she realizes entirely what is happening, Juliette agrees to become a passeur, Soliman’s name for the booksellers he hires to take stacks of used books out of his store and into the world, using their imagination and intuition to match books with readers. Suddenly, Juliette’s daydreaming becomes her reality, and when Soliman asks her to move in to their store to take care of Zaide while he goes away, she has to decide if she is ready to throw herself headfirst into this new life. Big-hearted, funny, and gloriously zany, The Girl Who Reads on the Métro is a delayed coming-of-age story about a young woman who dares to change her life, and a celebration of the power of books to unite us all. |

| walks in las palmas gran canaria: Gran Canaria Izabella Gawin, 2021-12-02 Gran Canary not only enjoys a fabulous reputation as a paradise of sunshine and beaches; it can also be described as one of the most versatile hiking islands of the Canary Archipelago. Connoisseurs praise it as a miniature continent because of its diversity of landscapes: shimmering dunes in contrast with luscious subtropical valleys, deep ravines with palm tree oases and glittering reservoirs, next to which are extensive pine tree forests and green slopes with grazing sheep and goats. To the North West cliffs drop down 800 m deep into the ocean, while in the centre of the island serrated, almost 2000 metre high ridges and bizarre rock monoliths emerge, which the Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno once interpreted as fossilised storms of fire and lava. This Rother walking guide - following La Palma and Tenerife - is now the third featuring the Canary Islands: excursions to beaches and spectacular cave villages, walks through pine forests and atmospheric ridge paths. Due to the increased significance of hiking tourism, parts of what at times are more than 500 year old rocks have been carefully restored over the last years. These Caminos Reales (royal paths) stretch across the entire island and used to link remote mountain villages with coastal territory. Many proposed tours follow these mainly stone-paved hiking paths and are therefore also ideal for less experienced hikers. Experienced mountain hikers who are not afraid of dramatic walks will also find a rich offer of tours. The first comprehensive hiking guide on Gran Canary leaves nothing to desire! Coloured illustrations and excellent hiking maps at an ideal scale of 1:50,000/1:75,000 round off the picture and awaken the curiosity for ever new excursions into the charmingly bizarre world of the mountains. |

| walks in las palmas gran canaria: Gran Canaria Travel Guide Daniel Windsor, 2025-01-10 Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands, is often described as a continent in miniature. This remarkable island, located off the coast of North Africa, is a melting pot of diverse landscapes, vibrant cultures, and a year-round mild climate. It has become a popular destination for tourists from around the world who seek both relaxation and adventure. Its unique geography offers everything from sun-kissed beaches to mountainous terrain, while its cultural richness provides visitors with an opportunity to explore a fascinating blend of indigenous traditions and international influences. The island is one of Spain's autonomous communities and belongs to the Canary Islands archipelago, which is composed of seven major islands. Gran Canaria is the third-largest in terms of both size and population, after Tenerife and Lanzarote, respectively. The island is often referred to as the heart of the Canary Islands due to its central location within the archipelago. Despite its small size, Gran Canaria is incredibly diverse, with each of its regions offering distinct experiences that cater to all types of travelers. From the bustling capital of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to the more tranquil villages in the interior, Gran Canaria offers something for everyone. The southern part of the island is famous for its golden sandy beaches, luxury resorts, and lively atmosphere, while the northern regions are known for their lush greenery, dramatic cliffs, and picturesque villages. The island's interior, particularly the central mountainous area, is a haven for hikers and nature lovers. Visitors can explore the rugged landscapes, visit ancient villages, or hike up to the island's highest point, Pico de las Nieves, which offers panoramic views of the entire island. Gran Canaria’s climate is one of the key factors that make it such a popular year-round destination. The subtropical weather ensures warm temperatures throughout the year, with winters being mild and summers pleasantly hot. This favorable climate, combined with its stunning beaches and varied landscapes, makes Gran Canaria an ideal place for a range of outdoor activities, from surfing and hiking to cycling and stargazing. The island is also home to some of Europe’s best-preserved dunes, found in the Maspalomas area, as well as volcanic craters, lush valleys, and hidden caves. The cultural history of Gran Canaria is equally fascinating. The island’s past is marked by a blend of indigenous Guanche traditions and the influences brought by Spanish conquerors in the 15th century. Over the centuries, Gran Canaria has absorbed various cultural influences from across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, creating a unique cultural identity that is reflected in its architecture, music, cuisine, and festivals. Today, visitors can enjoy a wide range of cultural events, from the famous Carnival of Las Palmas to traditional folk music performances and modern art exhibitions. The island is well-connected to major European cities by air, and its infrastructure caters to the needs of modern travelers. Whether staying in a luxury resort, a boutique hotel, or a cozy rural guesthouse, visitors are assured of a comfortable and welcoming experience. Gran Canaria’s culinary scene also reflects the island’s cosmopolitan atmosphere, with a variety of international cuisines available alongside traditional Canarian dishes, such as papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo sauce. Gran Canaria has established itself as a multifaceted destination. Whether you are looking to relax on the beach, explore its rich cultural heritage, or embark on outdoor adventures, the island offers an experience unlike any other. The island's dynamic blend of old and new, of nature and urban development, makes it an enticing place to visit and an even more attractive place to stay. |

Ruben Andersson, 2014-08-01 In this groundbreaking ethnography, Ruben Andersson, a gifted anthropologist and journalist, travels along the clandestine migration trail from Senegal and Mali to the Spanish North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. Through the voices of his informants, Andersson explores, viscerally and emphatically, how Europe’s increasingly powerful border regime meets and interacts with its target–the clandestine migrant. This vivid, rich work examines the subterranean migration flow from Africa to Europe, and shifts the focus from the illegal immigrants themselves to the vast industry built around their movements. This fascinating and accessible book is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics of international migration and the changing texture of global culture. |

| walks in las palmas gran canaria: The Mediterranean Karl Baedeker, 2025-03-02 In The Mediterranean, Karl Baedeker offers a meticulously detailed guide that captures the multifaceted allure of one of the world's most celebrated regions. Composed in the late 19th century, Baedeker's literary style combines meticulous research with a conversational tone, making the complex geography, history, and culture of the Mediterranean accessible to the grand tourist and the casual reader alike. His use of organized headings, maps, and travel tips reflects the burgeoning spirit of exploration in post-industrial Europe, marking it as an essential companion for the era's wanderlust-driven society. Baedeker, a pioneering figure in travel literature, was born into a period when the Grand Tour was a rite of passage for the upper classes. His extensive background in cartography and tourism informed his approach as he sought to elevate travel beyond mere sightseeing, instead encouraging a deep engagement with local customs and landscapes. His distinct style is indicative of his vision to bridge the gap between scholarly resources and engaging narrative, allowing readers to appreciate the Mediterranean not just as a destination, but as an experience. I highly recommend The Mediterranean for those intrigued by travel history, geography, or literature. This guide not only serves as an informative resource but also as an invitation to explore the vibrant tapestry of cultures that encircle the Mediterranean Sea, making it a timeless treasure for both the curious traveler and the scholarly enthusiast. |
