Vagabond: A Hiker's Homage to Rural Spain is a mesmerizing account by Mark, celebrated as one of National Geographic Traveller's top six travel reads for 2024. This book invites you to embark on a remarkable journey through the heart of Spain, rich with detail and overflowing with life.

In this captivating true story, you will traverse the landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula alongside Mark, who takes on a staggering 1,225-km hike from Gibraltar to Estaca de Bares. Fueled by the inspiration of a nomadic “vagabundo” encountered years ago, Mark leaves behind the fast-paced modern world to explore rural Spain on foot, armed with only a backpack and a hammock.

As you delve into Vagabond, you'll experience:

  • Stunning vistas of sleepy plazas, shady cork forests, and sun-baked plains.
  • Heartwarming interactions with locals, showcasing the true kindness of strangers.
  • A deep appreciation for the disappearing lifestyle of the vagabundo.
  • A reminder of the value of slowing down and connecting with others.

Mark’s trek is more than just a hike; it is a heartfelt homage to the forgotten communities of rural Spain. Each page is infused with the spirit of freedom, showcasing the profound beauty found in taking life one step at a time. Join Mark on this unforgettable adventure, where every story shared along the way adds to the rich tapestry of the Spanish landscape.

In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
