Le Periplo: a way of traveling
The journey before the journey
From the Latin periplus, ‘circumnavigation’. A journey or route, generally with a return to the starting point.
Le Periplo is an independent travel guide publisher, both physical and digital, that transforms the way a destination is explored. More than maps, it offers carefully curated selections of local experiences: gastronomy, culture, leisure, and stores recommended for their authenticity. Since 2019, it has been guided by creativity, sustainability, and design to invite travelers to discover each place with calm and inspiration.
Each recommendation has been personally tested, ensuring a genuine connection with the essence of the destination.
About the founders
Le Periplo was born from the shared vision of Flor de Lis Blázquez and Sandra Llopart, who combined their passion for travel, design, and photography to create a different kind of editorial: more than a collection of facts, a gateway to meaningful experiences. Since 2024, Flor has continued to lead the brand, keeping its founding essence alive.
The seed of Le Periplo was planted during a trip to Manhattan, where planning the perfect itinerary proved more exhausting than inspiring. The founders wanted to transform that experience: to design guides that make the planning process fluid and inspiring.
Each edition is an invitation to discover the true essence of a destination. The recommendations are not random; they are selected with sensitivity, discernment, and a keen eye for detail. Together, they laid the foundation for a more intuitive, authentic, and enriching way of traveling—a philosophy that remains alive in every new guide published.
Traveling is more than moving from place to place; it is immersing oneself in the essence of a place, connecting with its culture, and discovering what makes it unique. It is a slow, genuine way of traveling, in harmony with the local identity—respecting its rhythms, celebrating its character, and honoring the deep connection that can arise between the traveler and the destination.
The Philosophy of Le Periplo
One of the key questions that has inspired every guide from the beginning is: Where would you go if you lived there? Far from being a simple collection of recommendations, each edition aims to design meaningful experiences that connect with the essence of the destination.
Each guide invites you to explore a city, town, or special corner as if it were a grand walk: observing, feeling, and discovering. More than an itinerary, it is a journey designed to create a mental map of the place even before you arrive. It’s the journey before the journey: an immersion that begins the moment the guide is in your hands.
Respect for the environment, sustainability, and support for the artisanal and emerging are fundamental values in every publication. The goal is for every trip to leave a positive impact, fostering a conscious and enriching discovery. Each recommendation is an invitation to explore with sensitivity, appreciating both the traditional and the new.
Design plays an essential role in this vision. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure the user experience is smooth and inspiring, turning each destination into a story that is lived and felt from the very first moment.
