JUNE 7TH. Laura Martínez Calderón has been traveling the world for 20 years, the last 10 by bicycle. Laura has captured her experience in a very personal book, she tells us how she began her bicycle trip, first traveling through Asia, changing plans during the trip and entering Africa. A fresh look that perfectly reflects what her journey has been like with difficult moments but with many more moments of happiness, of sharing along the way.

This week's contents at Viajando Despacos have prepared several different topics. We were lucky enough to meet in Madrid with Maty Amaya, an Argentine cyclist who has been pedaling for 5 years and who shared a good time chatting with us. We also received a visit from Josetxo from A Bird Without a Nest. He had us very worried about his health, after a complication of malaria. They have had to stop their trip through Africa and have returned to Spain, he and Gorka. His story has motivated us to return to a book that we had read and that we wanted to tell you. Kazimierz Nowak who toured Africa between 1931 and 1936. How his work came to us is already a story in itself, just like that of Kapuscinski, which we can now know a little better thanks to a film that we can see in cinemas in Spain, One more day alive. The book is titled “On foot and by bicycle through the black continent”, published by Ediciones del Viento.
OCTOBER 27TH. We want to invite you to share a very special event, two friends, whom many of you also know, Lía and José, have embarked on an exciting project, they have created a publishing house, Ediciones Menguantes.
A Viajando Despacio listener, Gregorio Rodríguez, has asked us for a list with a selection of bike books that we have been recommending on Viajando Despacio. The titles are accumulating and it is not easy for us to choose. We share the result with all of you.
We start the month of August in Traveling Slowly, and with many interesting topics. Ángel Planas, manager of the Girona Greenways Consortium, tells us about the Pirinexus route. Xandra Troyano from Another tourism is possible tells us the results of the study on the economic impact of cycle tourism in Catalonia. Victor González Linares presents us with Tim Krabbé's latest book, “The Fourteenth Stage.” And we will meet a traveler, Javi on a bike with wings, who will tell us about his next adventure, the Camino de Santiago from Madrid.
Today at Viajando Despacio we say goodbye to the month of July with a special on bicycle trips and travel books. Recommending readings for the month of August that is already arriving. A conversation between Chus Blazquez and Jezabel Ramírez uniting two passions: bicycle trips and books. In addition, we will meet Jesús Marrufo, a bicycle traveler, and some of his projects, such as Spain from Cape to Cape. This is how it's nice to learn geography
