Description

A humorous and entertaining account of 18 months living, working and travelling through Central and South America, Barra Brava is based around 67 football matches. The story follows the author's encounters with the barra brava, Latin America's passionate supporters. The book documents the modern Gringo Trail, covering 18 countries from Mexico to Argentina, as well as touching on history, politics and social issues encountered along the way. From managing a hotel on a nudist beach to attempting to get Nicaragua's socialists to admit they murdered their greatest sportsman, this is not your average holiday diary. With its unique blend of football, travel and cultural insights, Barra Brava offers a fascinating glimpse into Latin America's vibrant culture.
