Los grandes viajes de Lonely Planet

Inspiration is the word that defines this book. Above all, it aims to show readers the meaning of the great journeys that many believe have been canceled by modernity. They say that today's society lives too fast, that nobody has time for something that lasts, and that explains the rise of concepts such as slow travel or slow food. This book is intended to be a personalized guide to slow travel so that the traveler can read about great trips, put some of them into practice and remember the others as great feats from other times. He may not be able to conquer the world like Alexander the Great, but he will be able to travel from his hometown in Macedonian Greece to Alexandria in Egypt, the city he founded, taking in Alexandrian landscapes along the way. Many of these great voyages are the product of the adventurous spirit of early explorers such as Marco Polo, of the thrill of throwing off the shackles of modern life and simply dedicating themselves to experiencing the world in all its infinite diversity and beauty, letting the journey flow.
