BITTEN BY SPAIN - THE MURCIAN COUNTRYSIDE A BAPTISM BY FIRE - Tecno-Libro

In search of la buena vida and sunnier climes, Deborah Fletcher and her husband John came to be the proud owners of a large and extremely beautiful piece of land in a river valley in the region of Murcia, southern Spain. There, with an ever-increasing menagerie of dogs, cats and birds, not to mention an awful lot of spiders, they lived between a static caravan and a huge old barn as they battled perpetually with the elements, the wildlife, the authorities and cultural differences to build their dream home from a pile of stones. Bitten by Spain began as a series of newsy emails to friends and family in the UK and developed into this intimate, warts-and-all and often hilarious take on Spanish rural life and what it'.s like learning to live in a finca el campo in southern Spain. ".... a brilliantly written and funny account of Deborah'.s move to Spain". Justin Aldridge, Eyeonspain.com ".The author faces each challenge with great gusto and a tremendous sense of humour".
