The story · La historia

Off the sunbed.

A poem in your hand, a figurine waiting where it says. Eyes up.

Somewhere on the Costa Blanca, the hunt is already on. Families follow the clues. A book goes in a bag, a poem gets read aloud, and a holiday turns into an afternoon spent looking up instead of down at a screen.

That is the whole idea. One family treasure-hunt book, written so each riddle leads to a real place and a real hidden figurine, made by local artists. Real clues, real hidden figurines, all over Spain. Not one town after another, so a family near the coast and a family inland can both be out playing on the same Saturday.

Bars, shops and hotels can put their name in the book, and in the hunt. The clues walk past their doors anyway. It started here, on the Costa Blanca, and it is built to travel.

En algún lugar de la Costa Blanca, la búsqueda ya ha empezado. Un libro, toda España. Un poema en la mano, una figurita esperando donde dice. La mirada, arriba.

Put the phone down. The figurine is not going to find itself, and it is in no hurry.Suelta el móvil. La figurita no se va a encontrar sola, y no tiene ninguna prisa.
