Have just finished reading Misha Glenny's monumental history of the Balkans from 1804 to 2012. But even though it is 800 pages long, some episodes in the region's history get barely a mention, while others are explored in great detail.
I learned a lot that I didn't know before.

No. 1: Siena Cathedral.
Siena's 13th century cathedral is just magnificent: the façade, the black and white interior columns, the floor mosaics, the Piccolomini Library, the crypt, the bapistry, the wall of the uncompleted nave extension and the cathedral's museum.

On a previous visit in the 1980s, the Sagrada Familia was little more than a building site, but now the bright multi-cloured interior is nearly complete. On an external wall is an interesting 4x4 magic square.

I was in Narbonne on the day of their Carnaval parade. I thought it was rather sweet, more akin to something you would have at an English village fête rather than the more debauched affairs that you might encounter in Germany or Spain.
