In Extremadura

Part travelogue, part diary, part history of this hidden corner of Spain, In Extremadura is also a tragi-comic treatise on the nature of mortality, and a love letter to cinema & literature. It veers from the films of Orson Welles and Luis Bunuel to meditations on torture, terrorism and Welsh holidays, from peregrination (Islamic and Christian) to wild swimming in Scotland and the death of David Bowie. A rib-tickling and thought-provoking genre-buster.
