After its first digital edition in 2012 and the second paper edition published in 2024, The book confirms its validity and its growing reception among readers and literary prescribers beyond Ibiza.

BIRTHDAY TRIP It is a poetic journey that combines memory, maturity and contemplation, articulated through the metaphor of the solo sea voyage. The prologue by Javier Serapio —which describes the work as “a transformative journey […] full of uncertainties and distressing mists”—places the reader on a vital journey that becomes universal. Riera explores the passage of time, identity and the need to stop to look within, with a voice that constantly dialogues with the seascape. In the words of the author himself, “The waves are mirrors of depth”, an image that summarizes the emotional depth that runs through the entire volume.

BIRTHDAY TRIP Thus, it reaches its new edition as a book that continues to grow over time: an intimate work, luminous and deeply human, capable of connecting with any reader who has felt the need to embark on their own inner journey.
