Us with Us: Cadaqués, it all happened, but it might not be true., Paperback

Honest, self-deprecating and occasionally funny, Us with Us offers an original take on one of Catalonia's most celebrated towns.

Using a unique format, it tells the story, and the stories, of a place immortalized by Dalí and brutalized by pirates. It's a portrait which brings the town to life with a roll call of famous characters ranging from Federico García Lorca to Pablo Picasso and Mick Jagger, at a time when its bohemian sunshine was increasingly overshadowed by politically bad weather.

"Cadaqués. 767.8 kilometres from Madrid. A place where the people talk salty, and the trees are bent double by the wind. One road in. Same road out.
