Chris Stewart returns to his beloved Alpujarras farm in southern Spain for another warm and witty instalment of rural misadventures. As he navigates the challenges of maintaining his eccentric lifestyle in an increasingly modernised world, Stewart finds himself pondering whether the simple, authentic existence he's carved out can survive the march of progress.
From wrestling with recalcitrant livestock to philosophical exchanges with colourful local characters, this memoir captures the bittersweet reality of a vanishing way of life. Stewart's self-deprecating humour and keen eye for absurdity illuminate the everyday dramas of Spanish country living, whilst exploring deeper questions about sustainability, community, and what we lose when traditional rural cultures fade away. A charming and thought-provoking read for anyone who's ever dreamed of escaping to the Mediterranean countryside.
