The route took them through African countries, deserts, jungles, rivers, and villages, in a context where communication devices were scarce and rudimentary. The main objective was to climb the iconic peaks of Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro, but the journey was full of difficulties that put their determination to the test. On several occasions, they were on the verge of giving up, but their courage and will to continue allowed them to complete a feat that many considered impossible. The book includes the names of the seven protagonists: Xavier Azagra, Pere Benaiges, Òscar Cadiach, Josep Capellades, Sebastià Figuerola, Eduard Gonzàlez, and Jordi Magrinyà.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExpeditions and road trips in 1970s Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClimbing iconic peaks: Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePersonal perseverance and teamwork under extreme conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of Catalan hiking and mountaineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eResilience in the face of logistical and communication difficulties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is recommended for readers interested in stories of expeditions, real-life adventures, and personal growth.
