Summary

“La ruta de los grandes faros” is a peculiar synthesis of many nautical epics lived by its author and described in a tight summary, as a personal confession about the sea, life and the events that many sailors experience, but very few manage to elevate to the category of conscious thoughts and reflections worthy of being communicated. But neither are they the reflections of someone who feels obliged to become a philosopher, or of a cricket who is going to reveal the ins and outs of existence. It is much more than that. It is a serious approach to the adventure that, for those who sail with awakened eyes, means the voyages, the sunset or the sunrise, the sky that announces that the weather is going to turn, the maintenance of ports, the landings, the delicate navigations due to the currents and tides. An endless number of nautical circumstances that present themselves to those who sail with an open mind and a soul ready to capture what is only shown to the attentive observer.
An unusual book that, without being a sailing manual, interweaves the art of sailing with the contemplation of nature and life. A lesson for every navigator who wants to look at the horizon with new eyes and find some keys to his own life, perhaps not yet discovered.

A work that, in its short chapters, full of wisdom, takes us to relevant places in Galicia, the Cantabrian coast, Brittany, Normandy or the south of England. History, navigation, geography and personal reflection, all in one.
