A better writer than he is a guitarist!

This book is lots of fun. I'm not big on travelogues and such like but this is more a series of sketches of people, places and experiences. It's easy to read and very entertaining.

The feel good book of the summer

This is clearly a dangerous and subversive piece of literature for young career people. My first instincts were to put the book down, ask for early retirement and head out to the wonderfully world of of Chris Stewert in beautiful Andalusia.

Warm, witty and wonderful

I read this book whilst on holiday in Northern Italy and couldn't put it down. I had no idea that goats could break wind and belch simultaneously! I can't wait to hear his next installment of life as a stranger in a strange land. Easy reading and highly recommended.

Optimistic man sets up home in a derelict Spanish farm

This is by far the best 'Brit leaves rat race to settle in foreign idyll' book of that genre - leaves Mayles Provencale tales in the shade. For anyone who has visited Andalucia it will be very evocative - yes - you can smell the lemons ! For anyone who has not been baked in that part of Spain then it will give you an itch to go!

A delight

What a wonderful, evocotive book this is. A charming story of a young couple's attempt to live a new life in Spain running a farm. This tale is warm, funny, loving and leaves a nice warm glow. Highly recommended.
