365 lugares de España que no puedes dejar de visitar
by Paco NadalVolumen que recoge 365 rincones de España que por su belleza o particularidad merecen ser visitados y admirados. «Decir que España es el país con mayor variedad paisajística de Europa sería una obviedad. ¿En qué otro lugar del continente podrías desayunar en un desierto casi africano, entre azufaifas, palmitos y henequenes, y cenar junto a las cumbres nevadas de una cordillera de ambiente alpino? Entre un extremo y otro se despliegan innumerables lugares mágicos: paisajes, aldeas, catedrales, puentes, ermitas, bosques... Excusas maravillosas para moverse, para viajar y descubrir un territorio único. Los 365 lugares de este libro, que podrían haber sido quinientos o mil, son una selección muy personal de sitios que recomendaría visitar.» Paco Nadal

49 Trout Streams of Southern Colorado
by Mark D. Williams W. Chad McPhailAnyone planning a fishing trip to beautiful southern Colorado needs this book to locate the best fly-fishing streams. Most guidebooks focus on large, well-known drainages. Williams and McPhail identify many locations not included in other books. They also recommend appropriate flies for each stream in entries that bring out the unique character of every fishing spot. In alphabetical order, the authors describe fishing waters from the Animas River to Willow Creek. They have intentionally omitted some lesser-known highcountry streams to avoid traffic and overfishing. They have also been selective in assigning flies, picking patterns that have worked for them rather than the obvious ones that local fly shops might recommend.
