«Baiona» is a photographic book on local history by Xosé Francisco Armesto Faginas and Manuel González Vicente (Ir Indo Edicións, hardback, 127 pages).
The book brings together numerous colour and black-and-white photographs that trace the history and seafaring tradition of Baiona, a stately town where time seems to stand still among geological and historical forms. The images and texts evoke the legends of Drake, the caravels of Columbus and the New World, always at the foot of the sea.
The book belongs to the As vilas collection. The first edition dates from 1992, with text in Galician, Spanish and English and an English translation by Ian Emmett.
It will appeal to those who enjoy illustrated books on local history and documentary photography of Galicia.
