Chapters

The book has 16 chapters, focusing each one on a different spot, and including more than a dozen photos and a piece of text written by an expert on the history and the essence of the place.

A crowdfunded project

This book has been funded through a crowdfunding campaign we launched in Verkami by the end of 2014. We were able to achieve a figure of almost 6.000€, more than enough to cover the 4.500€ we needed to make it feasible. None of this would have been possible without the support of each of the funders (individuals and companies) that made their contribution within the 40 days of the campaign.

We are immensely grateful to them, and that’s why each of them have their own little space in the acknowledgements section of the book.

Profits

Once the book has been edited and printed, all the profits we got from the sales will be used to:

• Help us keep up with the weekly articles in the web site, by letting us reach places we had not been to visit before.
• Redesign the web site and help us pay for the hosting expenses. We have been able to create a new platform, more flexible, that will allow us to create more a enriching experience for each article, including not just pictures but also video. And we have rethought the way we categorise the articles throughout, so that it’s easier to navigate and discover new places too.
• Translating all the contents to English, something that has already started and will continue in the future. This will let us to reach a broader audience of people interested in what Jaén has to offer.
