Driving over Lemons
Book 1 | Volume 1 | Inntravel Book Club
“There are many books about Brits moving abroad for the good life, but few of them have the wit and warmth, and the balance, light, and shade of Chris Stewart’s Driving over Lemons. In 1988, Stewart and his wife Anna bought a remote, ramshackle farm in the Spanish Alpujarras – a region of village-flecked valleys on the south of the Sierra Nevada. In many ways, it sounded like the Andalucian idyll – there were stony terraces running with clear waters, orange blossom trees, lemons everywhere. But in other ways, it was an absolute nightmare: on the wrong side of the river with no road access and no electricity. Read this book and you’ll instantly want to go on your own Alpujarran adventure.”
