This book reveals everything that a conventional guidebook would overlook. Swansea natives and residents will love this book, as will ‘alternative’ travellers who, tired of conventional guidebooks, seek the off-the-beaten-tourist-track, gritty, warts-and-all, 'real' city. This is a book of bizarre juxtapositions, of old-meets-new, salubrious with shady, affluent next to poverty-stricken, the sublime side by side with the ridiculous. ![]()
