Landscapes

Places we stay with.

Not a list of countries. The regions we know well enough to plan a week without padding.

Faroe Islands · North Atlantic

The Faroe Islands

Eighteen islands, a ferry timetable, and weather that is part of the itinerary.

Spain · Western Spain

Extremadura

Dehesa, granite, and towns that most travellers skip on the way to Andalusia.

Japan · Kiso Valley

Nakasendo

The old inland road, walked in sections, before the maples become a crowd.

Scotland · Outer Hebrides

Harris & the Small Isles

Machair, single-track, and ferries that still run to a printed timetable.

Mexico · Sierra Norte

Oaxaca highlands

Markets first, then the sierra, at the pace of a combi that waits.

Albania · Himarë to Porto Palermo

Albanian coast

The road before the season, when tavernas are still for the village.
