Accounts of everyday Spanish life and very recent history with a touch of humour, seen through the eyes of a British writer after 20 years living in the country.
Feel the culture shock as a Northern European comes to grips with Spanish queues, driving, red tape, Spanish fiestas and siestas, regional nationalisms and much more. Views on modern Spain in the grip of economic recession, shared by Spaniards and expats alike.
For expats, tourists and travellers who are enamoured, fascinated, exasperated, but never indifferent to Mediterranean culture, this book looks at grass-roots culture, current affairs and different aspects of everyday life in modern Spain through short essays.
A taster for those who are considering spending some time in the country or simply those who wish to gain a deeper knowledge of this fascinating nation from the point of view of an ordinary citizen. A book that leaves nobody indifferent.
