The next hidden europe will be published on Wednesday 11 July which, as followers of the Roman Calendar will know, is the Memorial of Saint Benedict, Patron of Europe.

In that upcoming issue of the magazine we’ll explore the tender touch of Breton angels, enjoy good wine and fine views in the Lavaux area on the shores of Lake Geneva, and report from the Black Sea territory of Abkhazia — a part of Europe that rarely features in mainstream media. Also in hidden europe 55, we’ll discover that there’s more to the ancient art of falconry than meets the eye. For a dose of hidden europe between issues, just sign up for our Letter from Europe e-newsletter.
