Un curso bien planteado para aquellos que quieran escribir artículos de viaje. Sobre todo me ha parecido muy interesante (e importante en estos tiempos que corren) las ideas sobre cómo enfocar temáticas que bajo el prisma de nuestra cultura pueden resultar complicadas. Sin embargo, echo en falta mayores recursos narrativos, al menos en las lecturas recomendadas.
