Robert has also authored & designed a series of ten guidebooks to explain his favorite destinations to the curious traveler. Focusing on history, architecture & current events, these PDF guides allow you to take his knowledge & teaching style along with you. Explore Sevilla, Lisbon, Alcobaça, & Buenos Aires with him:
Sevilla
Certain images immediately come to mind about Sevilla: good weather throughout the year, flamenco, religious festivities, bullfighting, charm & a certain chispa are all proud trademarks of the city. But there’s so much more: a seafaring past that brought trade from the Americas & merchants from around the globe, a producer of ceramic goods that influenced world design for centuries & two stunning Expos that gave the city a new life.
The Regionalist Architecture guide reveals Sevilla in fascinating detail:

Lisbon
One of the most visually stunning of all European capitals, sunlight reflects off the Tejo River onto pastel buildings stacked high among several hills. Amazing views are everywhere… if you can survive the hike up! Unafraid to mix a bit of the modern along with its stunning Baroque past, the city remains pleasantly lived in, homey & welcoming —at least outside the overrun Baixa.
The following guides reveal Lisbon in fascinating detail: Azulejos, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos & Catholic Heritage.

Mosteiro de Alcobaça
At the junction of two rivers on a former frontier, Cistercian monks used know-how, determination & prayer to create the most influential monastery in Portugal. Kings sought burial here, & tragic lovers Pedro & Inês rest in peace together inside. But after almost 700 years, the national government sent monks packing. Their story is revealed in fascinating detail:

Buenos Aires
With an urban area of almost 13 million people —32% of the nation’s population— Buenos Aires is an urban explorer’s paradise. Its grid street plan is easy to navigate, remarkably flat, & the city’s immense size urges walkers to continue on & on. Buenos Aires experienced a long, overdue rebirth after the 2001 financial crisis & its charm continues to bring tourists back… even if economic troubles continue.
What’s available: Recoleta Cemetery, Plaza de Mayo, a discounted bundle of those two guidebookss together, Art Nouveau, Once/Calle Paso & Domes (this last one free as a sample of our style, direct download).
