Orange groves, palm trees, sun and sea - no not California, but this engaging city on Spain´s southeastern coast. It´s a relaxed place to visit, with plenty to do, whatever your pace. There´s the Mercado Central, the vast City of Arts and Sciences, independent shops selling baskets, espadrilles and Spanish-made designs, and of course, the best paella you´ll ever eat.

Small and tightly focused, our guides are concise city tours in a handy fold-out format that slips neatly into an intrepid traveler´s pocket. Our aim is to introduce readers to new places as well as re-evaluating familiar ones, and we are as keen to find a new way to see the Louvre as we are to discover an untouched 1950s café. Informed by on-the-ground research, our one-sheet guides and maps uncover what makes a city special. They are written and researched in-house, and an illustrator who has been specially chosen for the subject designs each one. Whether it´s an excursion into the greener areas of London (more numerous than you might think), Paris´s beatnik bookshops, the otherworldly landscape just outside Reykjavik, or the watering holes of Brooklyn, we highlight what makes a place distinctive with our specialist knowledge and illustrations with vintage charm. In A6 format, the guides fit easily into a pocket and then expand out to A3 or A2 to display the attractions of each city. Each fine-quality sheet is litho-printed in England on 100% recycled stock.
