Quis Separabit - ‘who shall separate’ is a motto much connected with Irish history, drawing attention to the many links between Britain and Ireland over the centuries. Discover how these links have shaped Ulster, ancient and modern, as we explore its remarkable history, its wonderful scenery and above all its private and hidden treasures in city and country.

Beautiful Mediterranean Catalonia, with its rich language, culture and cuisine (markedly different from the rest of Spain), is explored through the Roman archaeology of Tarragona, the splendour of Girona’s Arab and Jewish heritage and Barcelona’s expression of Catalan nature through the architectural legacy of Modernisme.
