**Journey to the interior: 80 days in a van through forgotten Spain, by Fran Zabaleta **
How much do we know about our geography? Most likely, most of us have traveled to the main Spanish cities and some other renowned town, but do we really know those territories whose names we study at school?
That was the question asked by the author of this book, who also worked as an editor of school textbooks for subjects such as Geography and History. And he decided to remedy it: he visited Soria, Palencia, Ciudad Real, Jaén, Badajoz, Guadalajara, Teruel, Álava... and he visited fortresses, natural parks, mountains, castles... and met the people who lived in these places, almost always forgotten.
