National Geographic Traveller Magazine

6 June 2024

This month’s cover story focuses on California and its 840 miles of sun-kissed coast. We look beyond the Golden State's vineyards and glacier-carved national parks to savour its tranquil shores, home to laid-back surf resorts and wave-lashed islands harbouring wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Elsewhere, we discover how the Emirate state of Ras Al Khaimah is emerging as an adventure hub; why Cape Verde is prime hiking country, with ancient trails running through farms and mountains; explore Barcelona's cocktail bars and clandestine speakeasies; and plan unforgettable itineraries to discover Peru's cuisine, culture and complex history.
