 Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalusia by Chris StewartStewart gave a wonderful talk in the GCB Adventure Travel series in 2000 about the experience of buying a rundown farm and building a new life as a farmer in Andalucia. When Chris Stewart first sees El Valero, he's willing to overlook its lack of electricity, running water, or access road. Assured that he's bought "a paradise for pennies," he phones his wife, Ana, still in England, whose enthusiasm is a little more tempered. Together they embark on an undertaking that includes rebuilding the house, feeding and housing a former owner reluctant to leave, the threat of drought (and flood), a cultural misunderstanding, and the creation of a whole new, fulfilling, enviable life.
