Bitten by Spain Book

Following a popular, if somewhat jaded, trend of Brits to pursue the good life in sunnier climes, Deborah Fletcher and her husband John eventually came to be the proud owners of a large and extremely beautiful piece of land in a river valley in Southern Spain. There, with three dogs, a cat, six parrots and 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 the natives - to build their dream home from a pile of old stones. Bitten by Spain began as a series of emails back home to let friends and family know how things were going. Now, you too, can share in this intimate, warts-and-all take on Spanish rural life and what it's like learning to live with the wildlife, including the natives, in a finca in el campo of Southern Spain.Read More
