Building is what humans do. From that magic moment when we reach out to find a Lego piece that we had thrown down from our crib to when we pick it up and put it together with another piece. Yes, we build. We build a life, love, families, houses, roads, cities, airports and space shuttles. We transform old places into new ones. Sometimes those changes are mundane. Sometimes they are astonishing. And the astonishing ones become stories.

Uncharted Territories is a trip through the stories behind those extraordinary places that are often missing in travel guides. These are both small accounts and formidable achievements. These are reports of success, of failures, of empty beaches and flying boats. Stories of cities enclosed in a building and of buildings that travel through time. Of concrete scars and cardboard castles. Stories of houses and families, and of love and roads.

Stories about life.

Pedro Torrijos (Madrid, Spain, 1975)

A storyteller. He tells stories because that’s what he’s always wanted to do. He holds university degrees in both Music and Architecture, and since 2011 he’s dedicated his time to telling stories in every possible way and format. Stories about men, women and places. His articles have been published in El País, Yorokobu, and Jot Down magazine. He’s also produced some podcasts and has a growing community of fans that follow his stories on social media. If you run into him on the street, he’ll probably tell you a story. Uncharted Territories is his first book.
