Gisela Radant Wood is a walker, writer, photographer and passionate advocate for Extremadura, where she has lived for nearly 20 years. Born and raised in the West Country, England, she is now based in the Sierra de Montánchez, where she regularly walks in the surrounding countryside she knows so well. Home is a finca outside Almoharín, shared with her husband, a dog, a few sheep, hens and many olive trees. In 2007, she created the website www. walkingextremadura. com, which now attracts thousands of visitors each year and promotes the region as a walking paradise. Over countless kilometres, she has explored Extremadura's landscapes, wildlife and traces of ancient civilisations. Reading, writing, photography and daily walks continue to shape her life in rural Spain.
