Hiking with Andreu Borràs: The Tramuntana Is My Home Office
Ask Andreu Borràs where he works, and he doesn’t point to a desk. He points up. “The Tramuntana is my home office,” he says, grinning. Indeed, at seven in the morning, the limestone ridges above Sóller look a lot like a corner office with a…
Nit de l’Art 2026: Thirty Years And Counting
