The Athenian Issue

Athens, cradle of mythology and city guarded by Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. A city of classical art, purity and simplicity in all its splendour. Mediterranean tradition is embodied in each of its streets, its people, its gastronomy and its culture, awakening in each of us an inspiration that floods our senses and emotions. Monumental pillars and white stone sculptures surround this city and its corners, leaving pieces of antiquity and history scattered in their wake. Each image portrays the beauty of the Greek polis with the peculiar golden ratio that characterises it. The Greek aesthetic has managed to endure until now, and although it has learned to renew itself with modern elements, it has managed to maintain its essence without losing sight of its origins. The fusion of the new and the old has given rise to this volume in which the harmony of opposites predominates and the contrast between white and bright colours reflects this.

The Getaway supplement

The Getaway “Dazzling Valencia” is an 80-page supplement that comes with this issue of Herdes and shows the city in a mix of design, architecture and traditions.
