Gisela Radant Wood is a walker, writer, photographer and passionate advocate for Extremadura, where she has lived for nearly 20 years.

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.
