The historic heart of Brazil’s original capital, Salvador de Bahia, is featured on the cover of the twenty-sixth issue of The Cultured Traveller, which stylishly globe-trots the worlds of travel, music, fashion, food and drink in every edition. Also in this issue, Alex Benasuli drives for ninety minutes south of Miami to the tropical island paradise of Islamorada, and Joe Mortimer lives like a sultan in the sprawling Continents Suite at Raffles Istanbul. Tracing the history and impact of celebrated couturier Christian Dior, Adrian Gibson tours the V&A’s sell-out exhibition; Paul Burston pays homage to true pop survivor Madonna on the eve of her new album release, and our Editor-in-Chief Nicholas Chrisostomou visits revered temple complex Angkor Wat on a Vespa, no less.
