«Cuando el viejo Sinbad vuelva a las islas» is the fantasy novel by Álvaro Cunqueiro, published by Destino in paperback (162 pages, in Spanish).
An old Sinbad, retired on land, tells the neighbours of his village in the inn about the voyages of his youth in the service of caliphs and sultans: prodigious islands, strange beings and impossible geographies. The elderly sailor pursues his last illusion, to sail again, showing that storytelling can overcome routine and beautify life.
