About this audiobook
Ceuta sits on the hinge of the world, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean and Europe looks across a narrow strait at Africa. In this audio travel guide, you walk the Royal Walls and the navigable moat that turns the old town into an island. You climb Monte Hacho, the mountain ancient sailors counted among the Pillars of Hercules. You trace Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Portuguese layers, from al-Idrisi’s world map to the 1415 conquest that opened the age of exploration. You share a street with Christians, Muslims, Jews and Hindus, eat pinchos morunos, grilled mackerel and honeyed pastries, swim at César Manrique’s seaside park, and cross the border to the medina of Tetouan and the blue lanes of Chefchaouen. Narrated by Marcus and written by Sofía Kristiansen, this is a guide to feeling, eating and living in one of the most unusual cities in the Mediterranean. Close your eyes, and let the Strait carry you to Ceuta.
