A prolific author, Jeff Koehler has penned books on subjects as varied as Matisse in Morocco , wild coffee and paella. He divides his time between Barcelona and Menorca, and though Koehler started visiting the Balearic Islands in the late 1990s, it took him many years to come around to writing about them.

“I’ve been here for a long time, coming to the islands, and I never wanted to write about it,” says Koehler. “Suddenly, there’s nothing else I want to write about but here.”
