Art in the Chapels | Norman Miller | France, Brittany, Port Aven
Around us, five hundred year old white walls present an array of work whose paint has barely dried yet feels perfectly natural in its new home
At The Edge of the World | Norman Miller
For centuries it was the edge of the known world. Now El Hierro is just a beautiful Canarian hideaway
Basel City Break | Norman Miller | Switzerland, Basel, Basel
With its church steeples, venerable colleges and grand hotels perched on the banks of the Rhine, Basel exudes the sort of historic classiness you’d expect of Switzerland‘s wealthiest city
Binche masquerades as just another sleepy medieval Belgian town until three mad days in early March when it hosts one of the world’s oldest carnivals, and one of its strangest parades
Bite the Rotten Shark | Norman Miller
Rotten shark hits first with a strange smoky fishiness. Then, as I chew, a blast of ammonial gas brings tears to my eyes, which hasty gulps of the Black Death only worsen
Catch Up With an Island Past | Norman Miller | New Zealand, North Island, Bay of Islands
Auckland’s cosmopolitan bustle might have been only a couple of hours’ drive away, but it could have been another world moving in another time.
The Zen meditation teacher is speaking softly as he explains the path to enlightenment but I am not understanding. Perhaps this is because he’s speaking in Swedish
Gadding Around in Gothenburg | Norman Miller | Sweden, Stockholm, Gothenburg
In a recent opinion poll, over half of Sweden said they wanted to live in Gothenburg - hardly surprising for the country’s most cosmopolitan, walkable, fun-loving city
Herm and Away | Norman Miller | United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Shell Beach
Lying on Shell Beach it’s hard to imagine Nature as anything other than benign. Herm’s star attraction looks like a escapee from a Caribbean brochure
Island Life on Scotland's Edge | Norman Miller
Scotland's Outer Hebrides make a fabulous getaway, from landing on a beach to dancing on a table
Last Orders In the Vegas of the East | Norman Miller | China, Macau, Macau
The flashing lights are saying nightclub, my watch says 4am, the music is Cantonese techno, and the chili crab claw in my hand is the hottest thing I've ever tasted. Another night out in Macau.
Letter from Hawaii | Norman Miller | United States, Hawaii, Oahu
Twain described the view from the top of Mauna Loa - the “long mountain that had neither beginning or end” in his apt words - as taking in “all the climes of the world at a single glance of the eye”.
Naked Heat in a Cold Climate | Norman Miller | Finland, Helsinki and the South, Helsinki
I reach the top of the wooden steps and look down at a hole cut in the ice which stares back at me like a very dark pupil in the white eye of a very frozen Gulf of Finland.
Northern Tango | Norman Miller
Exploring Finland's strange fascination for tango, from the world's second-largest tango festival to strange rural dance halls
Painting Ceret | Norman Miller | France, Midi-Pyrenees, Ceret
Hunkered down amid trees and low-lying hills in the shadows of the Pyrenean peaks that divide France from Spain, Ceret is a Catalan town as much as a French one
San Remo | Norman Miller | Italy, Liguria, San Remo
Tchaikovsky composed here, Monet painted, while the British top crust built ravishing villas that still line the Corso degli Inglesi just east of the town centre
The New Amsterdam | Norman Miller | Netherlands, Amsterdam, Amsterdam
......the rush comes not just from the caffeine but from feeling like you’re the master of some new Amsterdam universe
The Real (Package) Deal | Norman Miller | Spain, Murcia and Alicante, Alicante
Benidorm may flank it like a dodgy cousin in a family snap but Alicante stands proudly apart from its neighbour on the Costa Blanca - a vibrant, elegant city rather than a package holiday bunker
Vitoria | Norman Miller | Spain, Basque (Pais Vasco), Vitoria (Gasteiz)
Tell a Spaniard you’re visiting Vitoria, and you may well get an approving nod
The voodoo-inspired candomble is just one African influence in Bahia, northern Brazil
