Adrian Phillips Le Mans is synonymous with fast cars, but it’s a place to slow down in, too, with a charming old town and restaurants. Venture beyond the city limits, and you’ll find master potters, an eccentric brush seller and a great spot for climbing trees. LE MANS & AROUND P.44 Lorna Parkes Returning to places that I loved in my backpacking days has been a recurring theme lately — and Fez didn’t disappoint. Negotiating its GPS-defying backstreets to interview female chefs and taste ancient recipes was a real joy.

The ancient Maya and Aztec cities, Indigenous cultures, fantastic food and landscapes that span Caribbean beaches to snow-capped mountains and desert lure me…

Editor’s letter

It’s easy to forget how big Mexico is. The 13th-largest country in the world and 11th-most-populated, it offers such a breadth and depth of experiences that a fleeting visit to Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta on the west coast — I’m talking about me here — only served to whet my appetite for more. In this issue, we pick out a number of the country’s unique, often Indigenous, experiences, many of them easily accessible from the destinations that travellers traditionally visit. The Yucatán Peninsula — home to the ever-popular Maya ruins of Chichén Itzá and Tulum, as well as spectacular Caribbean beaches — is where you’ll find the Camino del Mayab, a long-distance hiking and biking trail. This 68- mile project, designed to preserve local culture and wildlife, reveals a…

‘Master Lee’ is one of the few remaining practitioners of a dying art: Chinese signboard carving. During a morning walk in George Town, Penang’s capital, I spotted him giving someone a carving lesson at the entrance to his workshop. I introduced myself and was struck by his friendly smile. Over the next few days, I returned to take photos and discuss the intricacies of his work. In addition to these engraved, gold-leaf signs, he carves Chinese deities and ancestral tablets for temples, earning him the title ‘living legend of Penang’.  fernandocortesphoto.com @bigfernowski…

Copenhagen, Denmark

I came to Copenhagen as part of Adaptation, a project documenting how people interact with their environment. I’d taken the shots I needed, but I decided to stay on a while in the capital. One day, I strolled the streets at dawn, when the city had yet to wake up. I passed by some townhouses and decided to send up a drone to capture the view. I couldn’t have imagined what I’d discover: rows and rows of almost identical buildings, stretching to the horizon. ojlphotographies.com @ojlphotographies This image received an Honourable Mention in the 2023 International Photography Awards. photoawards.com…

Aquatic Art

Visitors to Miami will soon be able to take the plunge into a new world of art. The first phase of The ReefLine, an aquatic sculpture park, is set to open 600ft off the shore of South Beach this summer. When complete, the park will comprise sculptures by internationally renowned artists positioned along a sevenmile underwater gallery and snorkel trail. The aim is an innovative fusion of art and science that will both wow its flipper-clad visitors and act as a rallying cry for marine conservation. Swimmers will access The ReefLine by following the snorkel trail, which is linked by pathways built to resemble natural reef. The structures will incorporate eco-friendly materials to provide habitat for endangered reef organisms, promoting biodiversity and bolstering coastal resilience. Developed by the environmental organisation…

FOOT LOOSE FUN

BEST FOR ISLANDS Isle of Wight Walking Festival This festival celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024, with an event in spring and another in autumn.
