The result is <em>Las élites que dominan España</em>,a book that was to be published by Planeta, which finally backed out, and has ended up being published by Libros del K.O. </p>]]></description>

This is the mission that SOS Costa Brava wants to entrust to the future "godparents" of the coastal paths, a new role with which the environmental organization intends to strengthen the monitoring of these historic routes along the sea and guarantee the public's right to walk freely and without obstacles.</p>]]></description>
