Surviving in Spain & the Canary Islands

Being in the right place and not simply through an accident of birth brings a new chapter to be read, a lifestyle to be tasted, savoured and enjoyed. The true adventurer quickly realises that it is not what can be gained from the adopted country, but what can be given back in return.

This book is a follow up to two earlier books, 'Letters from the Atlantic' and 'Living the Dream', which are based upon my weekly 'Letters from the Atlantic' that are published in several countries. Each 'Letter' is intended to be a light-hearted account and a reflection of my own life living in Spain and the Canary Islands. Some stories may make readers laugh, whilst others may make readers cry in despair or even anger, yet others are meant to be a gentle prod in what I have found to be the right direction for me.

This is not a 'Do it yourself guide' either, but a few thoughts on the best way to survive in a country that is your choice and not merely an accident of birth.Note: Previously published as 'Expat Survival' by Barrie Mahoney
