Far from being a simple travel guide, this book becomes a self-portrait woven through the author’s experiences in Lisbon, Porto, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Tangier, Tetuán, Dublin, and Galway. With a tone bordering on confession, the author combines observation of the urban landscape with personal reflection, offering a unique perspective that transforms each destination into an inner experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume brings together four texts that narrate new journeys abroad. In them, the author does not limit himself to describing monuments or routes; instead, he uses each city as a stage for an exploration of memory and identity. The pages dedicated to Tetuán, for example, are imbued with the tone of intimate confession that predominates throughout the work. The reader will accompany Sanmartín on his walks, discovering how each place becomes a mirror reflecting his thoughts and emotions, creating a narrative that oscillates between travel chronicle and personal literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTravel as an inner experience and self-portrait.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntimate confession and personal memory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eObservation of the urban landscape as a trigger for reflection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eContrast between European cities (Lisbon, Brussels, Dublin) and African ones (Tangier, Tetuán).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe boundary between travel guide and literary narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in travel literature that goes beyond superficial description, as well as those who enjoy introspective narrative and the personal essay.
