«One of my most heartfelt wishes is to follow the course of our great rivers, the Douro, the Minho, the Tagus, the Guadiana, the Guadalquivir, the Ebro. You feel their life. Taking them from their earliest youth, from their cradle».

In trying to make Unamuno’s dream come true, this project answers his wish to follow the course of one river, the Minho, sailing across the pages of an interactive book. An enriching dialogue links the early photographs taken close to the river’s source and the verses and thoughts that it inspired.
O Miño sereno is the first volume of a collection about the main rivers in the Iberian Peninsula, with the overall title LA MEMORIA DE LOS RÍOS [The Memory of Rivers]. The wealth of features that the very nature of the river offers us, «a living, moving conscience», to quote Unamuno again, together with the immense range of possibilities created by information technologies, mean that this book is a unique opportunity to transfer the reality of a river, with its past and its present, to the digital community. We invite you to let yourself be carried away by the effects, which take their inspiration from the binocular vision of stereoscopic photography, 3D illusions, audios and videos.
