RAMBLING MAN | BROGA IN SARDINIA

Giggs, Ronaldo, Beckham, James (both David and LeBron) – they all put their athletic longevity down to yoga. The ancient Indian practice of meditative poses just keeps on getting bigger and bigger throughout the western world as a more ‘mindful’ (i.e. less narcissistic) alternative to the gym, and healthier too.

RAMBLING MAN | LISBON, PORTUGAL

There’s a reason everyone’s drinking smugly obscure Portuguese red wine now, and it’s not because we’ve all signed up to Algarve golf resorts: Europe’s western frontier is hot right now. At the time of writing, literally so – the Heatwave 2018™ has temperatures up to a ridiculous 40ºC. But also hot as in cool. Lisbon especially, offering an intoxicating cocktail of dilapidated charm, technicolour heritage, incendiary gastronomy, 3-hour flight times and all-year decent weather. Oh yes, and great wine.
