Description

The trajectory of Gabriel Escarrer, the leading hotelier in Spain, constitutes a living history of tourism, from its emergence in the years after the Second World War to the present day. Fate would have this entrepreneur born in one of the cradles of tourism, the island of Mallorca, which, together with his ingenuity and innate instinct for business, created a unique character. As a good Mallorcan, he has always wanted to go unnoticed, despite having often dealt with kings, international leaders and very especially, due to his passion for architecture, with the great masters of this discipline of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

This book tells in an entertaining and sincere way the memories and experiences of the founder of what is now Meliá Hotels International, and provides the value that he, always with humility and being aware of his limitations, hopes to be able to bring to older and future generations.
