A book about the Guanches' territories

Hi! We are back!

We beg your pardon for the long work break, but we were very busy during the last months. We have had to finish our fantastic project: a book about the Majorero island, a book about our island of Fuerteventura.

The book has the size DIN A4 (297x210 mm TxW), with 228 pages in full colour and is completely written in three languages, English, Spanish and German.

The book is already offered by the editorial - print shop BUBOK Barcelona (www.bubok.es). There you can get it as electronical book as PDF file, too. It's also offered by the american online editorial LULU (www.lulu.com).
More details are described more at the bottom of this entry. First some informations about the book, like the cover ...

... and the content:

We tell about the history of Fuerteventura and the others of the Islands of the Blissfuls, nowadays called Canary Islands.The history till this day never was written or described in this manner.
Majorero roots emanated from the past, the high influence of the Catholic Church and finally the conqueror's hand in the XVth century, initialising the definite change of the island's destiny and this one of the native population for ever.

The island in images, how it cannot be seen every day!
A lot of panoramic photos in an unique composition. Everyone of them was taken along the island in the last two years; this chapter includes a fast-index and an island map, whereon are indicated the places, where the images have been taken.

All the museums, interpretation centers and other places of common interest are arranged within their corresponding island municipalities, from the north to the south, with detailed maps.

Interesting (historical) descriptions of the buildings and/or mentioned places in this book, completed with fantastic images.

Within every description is indicated the complete and correct name and the settlement or place where it can be found, and there are included the opening hours and closed days, too, where is corresponding.

Where the sponsor is a public provincial or municipal institution, it will be indicated for the reader in one of the head lines of the page by one of the following signs.

We thought, that it's very important to include the information about the accessibility at the museums, centers and other mentioned sights and places for the disabled, with reduced mobility or persons in wheelchairs, older persons and families with children or babies. This information can be found directly in one of the head lines, where is mentioned the buildings' access and the interior's condition, if corresponding, indicated by three diversified signs and which can be distinguished by a simple view. Includes a short description of the obstacle, if corresponding, which could be come up against the visitor.

The chapter of the Historical Patrimony is divided in three important themes, which have had a notable influence in the economics and the main evolution of the island of Fuerteventura.

The compilation of the history of the flour mills, the limekilns and its respective stories, exemplified written and visually completed with images, which nowadays counts as historical document of the past centuries on this island, turistical exploited in this modern times. A dozen of windmills and about 150 of limekilns still give evidence of past times.
The hermits and churches are valuable narrators of an era, dominated by the Catholic Church. The chapter of 'Christian Buildings' stands as reference for the hermits and Parish churches on the Majorero territory, completed with many beautous photos.
