About the book

Sybil Bedford's A Visit to Don Otavio is a richly observed travel book based on a journey through Mexico. Bedford writes about landscapes, food, architecture, history and the people she encounters with intelligence and humour. Rather than offering a conventional travel guide, the book captures the atmosphere and contradictions of post-war Mexico through a mixture of personal experience, cultural observation and historical reflection.
