Description
Iberia is Julian Sayarer's account of an impromptu journey across Portugal and Spain, undertaken during a pandemic on an old blue bicycle named Miles. He pedals east from Lisbon, traversing hazy landscapes and baked roads, as his thoughts wander between big and small matters.
Through 900 miles of sun-drenched olive groves, vast mountainscapes, and dormant towns glimpsed through driving rain, Sayarer's journey is punctuated by fleeting moments of human connection. This is a celebration of shared humanity and community in a uniquely fragile time.
A brilliantly thoughtful writer, Julian Sayarer has made a specialism of reporting on the world from the roadside. His love of cycling and ability to evoke the beauty of travelling by bike are a potent combination that will leave you itching to hit the road.
