Landscapers: Twenty train journeys and their protagonists
by Pablo Zulaica
From Norway to the Pampas and from Canfranc to Madagascar, also travelling through India, the East Coast of the USA, Iran and Uzbekistan and many other fascinating corners of the world, Paisajeros is a book of chronicles written with the conviction that travelling by train is the best way to get to know a destination through its landscapes and its people.
Paisajeros is the perfect read for discovering places and people, for exploring and philosophizing, and, ultimately, for immersing yourself in the experience of traveling through the pages of a book to enjoy the best travel literature.
Pablo Zulaica Parra (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1982) is a freelance journalist who regularly collaborates with media outlets in Spain and Mexico; he also teaches, proofreads, and translates into Spanish from both countries. In 2007 he arrived in Mexico City as an advertising copywriter. There, apart from doing some campaigns, he stuck sticky accents on the streets, gave a TEDx talk, and, above all, he retrained himself to write chronicles, not travel and travel. In addition to fifteen years in Mexico ―he still has one foot there―, he has lived in Holland, Argentina, and India, and since 2010 he has recorded journeys and talks on board trains in many countries, the germ of Paisajeros. Veinte viajes en tren y sus principales (2023). From his temporary returns to Maeztu, the town in Álava where he spent his childhood summers, Gente de otro pelo (2023) emerged. Previously, he also wrote, for young audiences, Los acordes perdidos (2010), based on the street spelling movement that he promoted in his day, and Un fin de semana en la coladera (2014).
