Don't Move to Spain

About the Book

Don't Move to Spain is about locating, purchasing and renovating property in Spain. It takes two people on a journey to find their dream home and covers all the adventures that they encounter along the way.

It's about the detailed trips taken to find that perfect location, the people they meet on the way and the problems they experienced with language, culture and just a 'different' way of doing things.

Having found that dream home within their limited budget, the story continues with the extensive renovation needed to turn their dream into a reality. Factual, knowledgeable and often humerous, find out what it is like when you decide to up sticks, lock, stock and barrel and relocate to the sun.
