Streeter recounts an unusual continental journey taken with three companions, beginning with a Citroën collected in Paris and continuing through France, Spain, Italy, and Yugoslavia. From La Toja—where the Bay of Biscay meets the Atlantic—the group sets out to cross the mountain chains of Europe, tracing a route through the Spanish Pyrenees, the Massif Central, the Italian Alps, the Dolomites, and finally the rugged coastal ranges of Yugoslavia, visiting ancient cities and negotiating cliff-side roads suspended between mountains and sea.
Subjects: European Travel; Road Narratives; Pyrenees; Alps; Dolomites; Yugoslavia; Mid-Century Travel Writing; Continental Journeys.
