Hello all, Itβs Abi from Bradt here - this time in California! Yes, it's been a busy travel month. I'm here covering more sustainability assignments and, as ever, it has me thinking. Many of the places I'm visiting are vineyards, so I've been delving into the Bradt archives to see what our authors have to say on the subject. As you would expect, they haven't gone for the obvious. There is this guide on the world's best lesser-known vineyards. This one on the wine industry in Lebanon and this one on Uruguay. Perhaps most interesting of all is this one on how cheap French wine inspired literary genius. And if it's books you're looking for, try Britain in a Bottle by Rupert Wheeler and Ted Bruning . But if you're taking part in Stoptober - or never even started - Bradt and sustainability won't leave you high and dry. I'd recommend taking a look at this article on Slow Food - and how it can play its part. That's it for now. Wish me luck on the open road, Cheers, Abi β Have you entered our New Travel Writer of the Year competition yet? Cheltenham Travel FestivalLooking for travel inspiration?

Hello hello! I hate to sound predictably British but I'm going to start talking about the weather. In particular, about how relieved I am that finally some sunshine has arrived.

Hello hello! Greetings from Donostia San Sebastian in the Basque Country, Spain. We're here for a digital conference as, even though we love holding books in our hands, the world moves on and we move with it. Right now, my head is full of talk about algorithms and automation, but that doesn't mean that this email will be. Instead, read about the hidden areas of the Basque Country here, the lost kingdom of Navarre here and the heroic smugglers of the Atlantic Pyrenees here. Or you can go the...
