What is it about?
The book presents a selection of 24 Catalan landscapes that were featured in the television series "El paisatge favorit de Catalunya" (Catalonia's Favorite Landscape). Each landscape is illustrated with high-quality photographs that capture its essence, from the dunes of the Ebro Delta to the peaks of the Pyrenees, passing through places such as the old town of Tarragona or the unique shapes of Montserrat.
In addition to the images, the volume includes texts written by the people who participated in the series, who share their personal connection with each place.

Finally, a selection of photographs sent in by the show's viewers is added, offering a collective and diverse look at the territory.
