A great destination indeed
How beautiful is #SanSalvador’s revamped Centro Historico & Plaza La Libertad?
From the balcony of the Palacio Nacional you get a panoramic view of the Metropolitan Cathedral (housing the tomb of Saint Oscar Romero), the boutique Cardedeu hotel, & the futuristic National Library!
I am heading there now! Looks great.
Last day of @PhotoLondonFair at #Olympia in Kensington, where documentary photographer James Clifford Kent is showing his series #Yuma: A portrait of Cuba at the Yuma Studios stall on the upper gallery.

Scrumptious we’re sure!
More #CentralAmerican restaurants made it into the @TheWorlds50Best Restaurants in Latin America 2025, so it is only fitting that the colonial, volcano-ringed city of Antigua in #Guatemala will host the awards ceremony on 2 December

Brings back memories of a great exploratory trip!
Brilliant feature in the Oct/Nov issue of @wanderlustmag about #ElSalvador by travel writer @lauravfield.
Picked this beauty up in Waterstones & agree with everything Laura has to say about the transformation of this fabulous #CentralAmerican destination!

In the colourful town of #Ataco we got to make #pupusas with Yenni & Rosa.
#ElSalvador's must-try snack, pupusas can be filled with combos of queso (cheese), frijoles (beans), chicharron (creamed pork rinds), ayote (squash) & loroco buds. #Numnum!

Highly recommended for travel and history buffs.
Delighted to be part of @BradtGuides’ new travel writing anthology on South America, which features pieces by the likes of Charles Darwin, Jan Morris & Michael Palin.
It includes an extract from Crossed Off the Map on my journey to Potosí, Bolivia’s high-altitude city of silver.
