  • Overview

    Un viaje único protagonizado por los españoles que trataron de llegar al Lago Rosa. Una historia de historias, contadas por ellos mismos.

    En 1977 Thierry Sabine se perdió con su moto en el desierto del Teneré. Salió vivo de milagro, la experiencia le marcó de por vida y se prometió volver al desierto, pero jamás solo.

    Dos años después —quizá por valentía, quizá por inconsciencia— regresó con un grupo de intrépidos hombres y mujeres que formaron parte de la primera edición del París-Dakar. El reto de enfrentarse a lo desconocido en la inmensidad del paisaje africano hizo que el éxito fuera inmediato. La mayor aventura del siglo XX había comenzado.

    Estas páginas reúnen más de cuarenta historias llenas de emoción y arrojo. Porque los valientes de Sabine tuvieron que superar dificultades que ni siquiera habían imaginado: sobrevivieron al hambre, a la sed y al polvo del desierto; a averías y accidentes; a robos, enfermedades, secuestros… e incluso a un matrimonio concertado. Cuando éramos pilotos es un homenaje a una época irrepetible, repleto de historias humanas, épicas, divertidas y agridulces que suponen el testimonio vivo de una pasión irracional por la aventura en su estado más puro.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    The extraordinary story of the Spaniards who struggled to reach the Pink Lake, told in their own words.

    In 1977, motorcyclist Thierry Sabine got lost in the Ténéré Desert. By a miracle, he survived and vowed to return to the desert, but never alone.

    Two years later – whether out of bravery or by chance – he returned with a group of intrepid men and women who would become the first protagonists of the legendary Paris-Dakar Rally. The prospect of facing unknown challenges in the immensity of Africa proved irresistible, and the event was an immediate success. The greatest adventure of the twentieth century had begun.

    These pages contain dozens of thrilling stories of daring feats. Sabine and his comrades faced unimaginable obstacles, surviving hunger, thirst and dust storms; breakdowns and accidents; theft, illness and kidnappings ... even an arranged marriage. When We Were Pilots is an homage to a lost era, featuring epic, funny, bittersweet and very human stories that serve as living testimony to an extreme passion for adventure in its purest state.
