Cinco series que no te puedes perder a bordo

Por Nacho Sánchez | Periodista


La travesía en barco es el lugar idóneo para desconectar, relajarse o disfrutar haciendo lo que más nos gusta, como ver nuestras series favoritas. ¿Tú no la tienes? Aquí te dejamos algunas recomendaciones que como buen “seriéfilo” no te puedes perder a bordo: desde el retrato de aparente ‘ciencia ficción’ que nos muestra Black Mirror sobre el individualismo de la sociedad actual hasta los escenarios ochenteros de Dark, pasando por una serie que se sumerge en los entresijos del vaticano a través de Pío XIII, The Young Pope. Para todos los gustos.   Black Mirror Black Mirror responde a las preguntas que llevan haciéndose muchas personas. ¿No nos estamos pasando con las redes sociales? ¿El desarrollo tecnológico sólo traerá beneficios? ¿Hacia dónde camina una sociedad cada vez más individualista? Las respuestas llegan en forma de capítulos que se sirven de una ciencia ficción que cada vez lo es menos. Todos son independientes entre sí, es decir, cada capítulo conforma una historia autoconclusiva. Aunque hay que reconocer que algunos capítulos bajan el nivel medio, esta propuesta se ha convertido en una serie de culto que conviene repasar de vez en cuando para ir con pies de plomo con las nuevas tecnologías. Merece especialmente la pena el titulado San Junípero, que obtuvo dos premios Emmy al mejor telefilme y al mejor guion. Plataforma: Netflix | Temporadas: 4 | Duración: Capítulos individuales de unos 60 minutos [caption id="attachment_2401" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Black Mirror[/caption]   The Young Pope Un papa con toga y gafas de sol, joven y atractivo, fumador, bebedor de Cherry Coke y con las ideas tan claras como para citar a Banksy o Daft Punk. Es Pío XIII, el personaje que interpreta Jude Law en The Young Pope, extraordinaria serie dirigida por Paolo Sorrentino. El cineasta italiano traslada a esta serie las características que hicieron que crítica y público le aclamaran por películas como La Gran Belleza. Escenarios fascinantes, un ritmo lento y pausado, mucha observación y palabras como puñales forman parte de un trabajo en el que se descubren algunos de los entresijos del Vaticano. Con la participación estelar de Diane Keaton y la humilde pero gran presencia de Javier Cámara, el visionado de The Young Pope hay que afrontarlo con las mismas dosis de paciencia, curiosidad y capacidad de sorpresa porque, aquí, no siempre todo es lo que parece. Hasta el L’Osservatore Romano, el periódico oficial de la Santa Sede, se hizo eco de una serie que se queda marcada en la retina. Plataforma: Sky Atlantic, HBO y Canal+ | Temporadas: Una | Duración: Diez capítulos de unos 50 minutos cada uno.   The end of the f***ing world Son los Bonnie and Clyde de la generación millenial y se llaman James y Alyssa. Ambos conforman una pareja tan especial como excepcional, donde el amor y la inocencia se mezclan con el miedo y un oscuro humor de calado típicamente británico. Con capítulos cortos, diálogos directos y un desarrollo de la trama que no deja de sorprender en cada secuencia, The end of the f***ing world -producida originalmente por Channel 4- es una de esas series que te ves de un plumazo sin haberte dado cuenta. Ayudan sus capítulos cortos, que acaban antes de pestañear. En total, dos horas y media para una historia tan absurda como perturbadora en la que dos adolescentes pretenden escapar, a su manera, del mundo tan mediocre que les rodea. La ambientación vintage, su excelente banda sonora y un completo elenco secundario hacen de esta serie uno de los productos más originales emitidos por Netflix. Sea cual sea tu edad, empatizarás hasta el infinito con James y Alyssa. Plataforma: Netflix | Temporadas: Una | Duración: Ocho capítulos de unos 20 minutos cada uno. [caption id="attachment_2402" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] The End of the F***ing World[/caption]   Better Things Sam es actriz. No tiene mucho éxito, pero le es suficiente para seguir adelante mientras lucha contra los egos de Hollywood. Y también es una  madre divorciada con tres hijas, con las que comparte casa en una zona acomodada de Los Ángeles. Juntas conforman una de las series más atractivas de los últimos años, que relata una vida llena de altibajos, de momentos emocionantes, de días tristes y días felices, de amor adulto y amor adolescente. Pero lejos de dramatizar, la familia afronta un día a día que no es fácil mientras unas y otras se descubren a sí mismas y la sociedad en la que viven. Está originalmente producida por FOX e ideada por  Louie C.K y Pamela Adlon, quien también interpreta a la protagonista. El formato en capítulos cortos ayuda a disfrutar aún más de la fugacidad de Better Things, tan entrañable como divertida. Y sincera, porque en ella reconocemos la vida misma. Plataforma: HBO | Temporadas: Dos | Duración: Diez capítulos por temporada de entre 20 y 30 minutos cada uno.   Dark Sin duda, Dark nació a la sombra de Stranger Things. Bosques, niños especialmente aventureros, sucesos extraños, investigadores policiales, escenarios de los años 80, bicicletas y cierto trasfondo filosófico son también parte de esta serie. Sin embargo, la narración incluye oscuras situaciones familiares y una forma de contar mucho más pausada y reflexiva que la serie norteamericana. La acción sucede en un pequeño pueblo teutón llamado Winden a partir de la desaparición de dos menores. Con una atmósfera oscura y llena de tensión y misterio, su desarrollo la hace cada vez más inquietante e interesante, con lo que es muy difícil no apuntarse a un maratón para verla seguida. Como curiosidad, se trata de la primera de producción alemana que puso en marcha Netflix. Ya tiene su segunda temporada confirmada, aunque llegará en 2019. Plataforma: Netflix | Temporadas: Una | Duración: Diez capítulos de unos 50 minutos cada uno.

Morocco's Mediterranean side
Guías de viajes

Morocco's Mediterranean side

  This region is perfect for exploring cities with centuries of history and switching off amid natural landscapes and unspoilt beaches. From Tangier to Nador, here are ten places in northern Morocco to discover by motorhome.   Only a few kilometres separate Spain from Morocco; in less than an hour by ferry from southern mainland Spain, an entire country opens up that is best discovered slowly. The Rif massif dominates this Amazigh region and has shaped a landscape of small, remarkable roads that cross valleys and hug the coastline.   1: The gateway to Morocco Tangier This city is a gateway not only to Morocco but to the African continent. Located at a strategic point on the Strait of Gibraltar, it has Phoenician and Roman roots. The streets of the medina reveal both the Arab past and present, while this architecture mingles with 20th-century buildings dating from the period when Tangier was under international administration. Spanish influence can also be seen, for example in the Cervantes Theatre.   Tangier's ceramics reflect the colour of the sea   2: Views over the Strait Cape Spartel Cape Spartel, ten kilometres from Tangier, offers one of the finest views over the Strait. This is where the Atlantic gives way to the Mediterranean. The lighthouse here was one of the first in the country and has been operating since 1864. It stands within a nature reserve that fills up at weekends with Tangier residents looking to escape the city for a family day out. Nearby are also the Caves of Hercules and the Atlantic beaches of Sidi Kacem and Achakkar where surfing and other water sports can be enjoyed.     3: The Atlantic coast Assilah The narrow white streets of Assilah have become an open-air museum. Murals bring colour to the medina of this small Atlantic town. From the old-city walls you can see the ocean and the town's sandy beaches. It is the perfect place to stop and enjoy some fish.   Assilah's medina is recognised by UNESCO as historic heritage   4: The blue city Chefchaouen Morocco's blue pearl wins over travellers with its maze of lanes on the side of a mountain. The old town is a seemingly endless network of irregular streets lined with small shops selling souvenirs, clothes, food and spices. It is one of the best places to stay overnight and also a great base for enjoying the many walking trails in the region.     5: Switch off in nature Talassemtane National Park This natural park of almost 60,000 hectares is one of the treasures of the Rif Mountains. One of the best places to base yourself is the small village of Akchour, from where several routes set out into this mountainous area on foot or by bike. You can also see Atlas cedar forests and the waterfall named after the village.   Streams and natural pools abound in Talassemtane     6: The White Dove Tetouan Back on the Mediterranean, Tetouan is an essential stop. Its buildings are white, while in the medina this colour mixes with the green of many doorways. The old town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tetouan is also known as “the daughter of Granada” because of its Hispano-Moorish architecture. A few kilometres away lies Martil beach, the closest coastal area to the city and a good place to spend the night.   7: Sea and mountains Al Hoceima National Park Following the coastal road from Oued Laou towards Al Hoceima brings you to this national park, a vast landscape of nature and mountains that descend towards the Mediterranean. Between the cliffs and rocky stretches are small hidden beaches and coves such as Taoussarte and Taydiwine. Ospreys can also be seen hunting over these waters.   8: Mediterranean beaches Oued Laou Set between the mountains, the beach and small fishing village of Oued Laou are among the best places to stop, unwind and take a break from the journey. The road from Tetouan is one of the most beautiful in northern Morocco, following the coastline past cliffs and small rocky coves. Several campsites, shops and restaurants can be found near the village.   Green is associated with Paradise in Islam   9: The city on the cliff Al Hoceima This Rif city lies on the coast, surrounded by beaches and home to one of the most important ports in northern Morocco. It stands on an impressive cliff. Between 1994 and 2004, two major earthquakes struck the area, causing more than 500 deaths. It was also one of the centres of resistance to Spanish colonisation. Today, it is one of the most popular places for locals and travellers to spend their summer holidays and enjoy the calm Mediterranean waters.   10: The eastern coast Nador Nador is the final stop and the most important city on Morocco's eastern coast, only a few kilometres from Melilla. The city overlooks the Mar Chica, a saltwater lagoon connected to the sea. Following the road east, you come to the well-known Red Beach, a rocky beach, and the long Ras El-Ma beach, with several kilometres of sand. Close to the Algerian border lies the resort town of Saïdia, where you will find numerous large hotels and restaurants.

Mallorca on foot and on two wheels

Mallorca on foot and on two wheels

  Mallorca's mild climate and good transport connections have led many walkers and, above all, cyclists to choose the island for their favourite sport. Here are ten routes to get your legs moving, either on foot or without leaving the saddle.   With 1,600 km of secondary roads and 468 km of signposted routes, Mallorca offers the perfect infrastructure for cycle tourism. Its diverse landscape —coastal, urban, rural and mountainous— also makes it ideal for exploring on foot. The experience is even better when the island is quieter, between October and May. 1: Contrasting landscapes along the old railway line The Manacor–Artà greenway This is not a circular route, so you will need to plan the return journey. At just under 30 kilometres, it is relatively easy and lets you enjoy a variety of landscapes without getting off the bike, following the old railway line. Starting east of Manacor, by the time you reach Artà you will have passed through tunnels and old stations and seen rural Mallorca, mountains, Mediterranean woodland and, in the distance, the coastline of s'Illot and Cala Millor. An easier alternative runs from Son Carrió to Son Servera.   2: Culture and the Serra de Tramuntana Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller The Valldemossa Charterhouse, where Chopin stayed, and Sóller's architectural heritage, particularly its Modernist buildings, make these two Serra villages well worth visiting. This road-bike route is for experienced cyclists. From Valldemossa, head to the Monastery of Miramar, founded by Ramon Llull, and Son Marroig, associated with Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria. Following the coast, you will reach Deià before descending to Sóller's Orange Valley. The route covers 36 km. 3: Mallorca's highest point, Lluc and the Cúber and Gorg Blau reservoirs Puig Major from Sóller Another demanding route for experienced cyclists, but one that belongs in this top ten because it climbs the island's highest peak. From Sóller, climb to the Monnàber tunnel, around 900 metres long. Roughly 2 km farther on is the military base, where permission must be requested to access Puig Major. From its 1,445-metre summit, you can enjoy some of the island's finest views. Afterwards, descend towards the Lluc Sanctuary, another essential stop, passing the Cúber and Gorg Blau reservoirs. From Coll de Sa Batalla, return to Sóller along the MA-10.   Walking among ancient stones 4: Beaches and natural parks by bike From Cala Egos to Es Trenc This non-circular road-bike route covers around 60 km. It takes in the coast of Santanyí and Campos and some of Mallorca's finest beaches. Starting in Cala Egos, head to Portopetro via Camí des Barranc, passing along the northern edge of Mondragó Natural Park. Continue alongside the torrent d'en Reieta to Santanyí, then cross this attractive town and ride on to Es Llombards, Ses Salines and Colònia de Sant Jordi. There you can leave the bike and, if the weather allows, walk for a while and take a dip in Es Trenc-Salobrar Natural Park or, at the other end, Es Carbó. All are spectacular beaches. 5: Great views of the Serra and the coast Planícia from Esporles This 30 km mountain-bike route is of moderate difficulty. Starting in Esporles, one of the Serra's prettiest villages, head towards Mirador de Mar along the old path that once linked the village with Port de Calonge. The views are spectacular. Return towards the MA-10 to descend towards Banyalbufar, but turn off first towards Planícia. Depending on your energy and available time, you can explore one of the three routes within this public estate. On the return journey, stop at the Es Verger viewpoint before continuing to another beautiful village, Banyalbufar, and from there back to Esporles. 6: Phoenician necropolis beside the beach Son Real The walk through the public estate of Son Real, in the municipality of Santa Margalida, is especially suitable for families. It is only around 2 km long, with no significant climbs or descents, and includes plenty to interest children. There are four possible routes, but the essential one leads to the impressive Punta des Fenicis necropolis, with burials dating from the Iron Age through to Roman times. And while you are there, you can enjoy a swim at the beach next to it.   Sea and mountains in Sóller   7: Family walking and cycling S'Albufera S'Albufera de Mallorca Natural Park, in the north of the island, is ideal for families. There are four routes that can be completed on foot or by bike: Sa Roca, Es Colombars, Es Cibollars and Es Camí d'Enmig-Ses Puntes. The longest, around three hours, is the last of these, but all of them offer the chance to enjoy the park's rich wildlife, particularly its birdlife.   8: One of Mallorca's most photographed horizons Torrent de Pareis There are several routes, some even suitable only for mountaineers, leading to the spectacular mouth of this torrent, one of Mallorca's most photogenic beaches. The classic route is the descent through the gorge from s'Entreforc, where the Gorg Blau reservoir flows out: it takes around 6 hours, covers 5 km and requires experience or a good guide. The easiest family-friendly option is the path beginning at Sa Calobra beach.   9: Ramon Llull's place of contemplation Cura Sanctuary If Ramon Llull chose this as a place for spiritual retreat, there must have been a reason. Our suggested route starts in the village of Randa before climbing to Cura Sanctuary, where the Mallorcan philosopher withdrew in the 13th century and founded his school. Along the way, as well as enjoying impressive views, you will visit the Sant Honorat hermitage and Nostra Senyora de Gràcia Sanctuary. On the final section, along Camí de Bon Pastor, you can see some galleries that were used as ammunition stores during the Spanish Civil War. The only real difficulty is the access to Puig de Son Reus. 10: Refuge for Trappist monks during the French Revolution La Trapa Several paths lead to La Trapa, a monastery founded in 1810 by French Trappist monks who, twenty years after the storming of the Bastille, decided to flee the country. Abandoned only a few years later, the estate was acquired in 1980 by the environmental group GOB to prevent development. The most popular route to La Trapa begins at s'Arracó cemetery. Another route from Sant Elm follows the coastline. A third goes via Coll de Sa Gramola and is a good choice when the rocks are wet. All of them provide exceptional views of the Sa Dragonera islet.   Horses accompany cycle tourists
