Morroco is another country i visited numerous times, our respective countries having very long relations, long before Charlemagne.

The following document is about the Atlas, in french.
It's great for all those who want very detailed information about sites to visit (GPS for all of them described).

For those prefering the Atlantic's wind the Algarve is the portuguese region to visit. Well known from botanists and naturalists, the region has spawned numerous naturalist works. Little few with precise maps of hotspots. Here's one free, in german (188p).

News from ViraNatura Tours - New book alert🥳
"Wild Edens - the history and habitat of our most-loved garden plants "

  https://www.viranatura.com/
Chris Gardner and Toby Musgrave’s new book will be on the shelves very soon.


If you've marveled at previous Gardner books, then I think this is will be a must! I have no more details at present.

A few page examples .....

Not a gardening book but one which I have found very useful is Britains Insects, a field guide to the insects of Great Britain and Ireland, by Paul D Brock. Over 500 pages of colour photographs of insects with a description. There are many thousands of insects in Great Britain and Ireland and no single book could cover them all but this one, published in 2021, is a good start for the interested novice. Available by post. Sorry, I don,t have a printer to show the jacket illustration.
