Punta PiedraHere's a beach club with a major plus point: getting there and back involves no more than a pleasant stroll from your lodgings in downtown Alicante. Punta Piedra comprises 3000 square metres of prime seaside space: the terraza with its palms and sail-like awnings is frankly gorgeous.

My first connection with water was in Hamburg, where I grew up, near the River Elbe. My family also had a house on Sylt, a little island in the North Sea.

Mallorca boasts an amazing diversity in the range of activities it offers, from cooking and clubbing to boating, biking, birding, and hiking. The list is practically inexhaustible.

EinleitungImaginäre GeografienSteht die Welt Kopf? Vor gar nicht allzu langer Zeit lauerten an den Rändern unserer Landkarten noch geheimnisvolle Kreaturen. Drachen und Monster streiften durch die Landschaft, und Seeungeheuer zertrümmerten die Boote und Knochen all jener, die sich zu weit in ihre Gewässer vorwagten.
