The Ruta de las guías inciertas book (Guide of the uncertain walks) is a Barcelona travel guide with a twist. It’s an experimental way to plan a visit to Barcelona through the unique drawings of Clara Nubiola. Over the course of a month, Nubiola was sent daily to an unknown departure point with a bag containing only a GPS, a Notebook and just two hours on the clock. She had the time to walk freely from this point, drawing and writing as many relevant things as she could find. Afterwards, she would give the full notebook to the editors and they would design the book with all the different drawings. Aside from being a wonderfully illustrated work, the book is a reflection about what is and what is not relevant for a visitor when they walk through a town they’ve never seen before.

As someone who thinks more about traveling than actually gets to do it [damn, it should really be the other way around], it was good to come across the latest batch of Wallpaper* city guides the other day. Living vicariously through the pages of the Berlin edition at least made my next choice of holiday destination that much easier. As one would expect from anything Wallpaper* puts its name to, the books are beautifully designed and are very photo heavy, which is a nice point of difference from the plethora of other travel books on the market. New cities in the series include Athens, Basel, Beijing, Berlin, Bilbao, Cape Town, Dubai, Havana, Hong Kong, Lisbon, Marrakech, Miami, Mumbai, Prague, San Francisco, São Paulo, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Toronto and Vienna. Now that’s some serious airtime.
