Presently at work on a book about the Pyrenees based on a two-month walk from Atlantic to Mediterranean, Semler lives in Barcelona and writes about life in southern Europe. A generalist, Semler has written about everything from fly fishing to flamenco, wild mushrooms and running with the bulls for publications including the Los Angeles Times, Saveur, Forbes FYI and Sky."


The Culture
of Tapas
Spain's legendary 'bar food' was born and thrives in Andalusia 		Mountainous Appetites
In the Cerdanya, high in the Pyrenees, it's easy to grow ravenous—and just as easy to find plenty of delicious, hearty fare to eat 		Wild France
Corsican food gets its unmistakable character from the sprawling scrub called the maquis 		La Diada de Sant Jordi: Barcelona's Lovers' Day
Barcelona's best day? Easy. April 23---St. George's Day...a day when kissometer readings go off the charts, a day so sweet and playful, so goofy and romantic, that 6 million Catalans go giddy from dawn to dusk.
