99 places carrying our editorial line — every one of them genuinely undertouristed, every one of them with a named editor and a real local voice.
Carlingford & Cooley Peninsula
A medieval walled port on the border-water of Carlingford Lough: Norman castle, Old Norse name, and a peninsula of mountain track behind it.
Great Western Greenway
Ireland's longest off-road greenway: 42 km along Clew Bay from Westport to Achill, on the trackbed of the Achill railway that closed in 1937.
Comacchio
A canal town in the Po Delta lagoons: bridges, eels, flamingos, and a Slow Food marinating works that keeps a centuries-old eel tradition alive.
Salento (interior)
The deep heel of Italy, where a Greek-derived language still lives in a cluster of whitewashed villages and the whole coast empties after August.
Specchia
Pale-stone alleys and walled gardens on a south-Salento hill, far enough inland that the coastal August never quite arrives.
Ebro Delta
The largest western Mediterranean wetland: 320 km² of Catalan rice fields, salt pans and the world's biggest Audouin's gull colony.
Ecoparque de Trasmiera (Arnuero)
The Cantabrian coastal park of a 2,100-person municipality: three villages, two beaches, a tidal mill, and the regeneration story the EDEN award recognised.
