A Character’s View
Characters from the world of The Spice Temple share some of their favourite places, revealing how their imagined worlds have been shaped by real ones.

Where the Real Meets the Imagined
Part of the beauty of reading is imagining a world for yourself, but for those curious about what lies behind the story, we offer glimpses into what has found its way onto the page.

Places to Linger
From a writer’s perspective, some places invite us to linger: a favourite café, a hidden hotel corner, a captivating garden or somewhere entirely unexpected. Places to read, write, create, meet or simply watch the world go by.

Cultural Curiosities
What makes us curious often makes a place memorable: architecture and art, languages and local rituals, culinary traditions, remarkable people and unexpected stories. Details and culture matter.

Whether you’re curious about the places behind the stories, searching for somewhere new to explore, or simply looking for inspiration for your next journey, discover a world where fiction and reality meet.
