About this ebook
Bidding adios to work and Sydney, Erna and Alex decide to pursue a dream of living in the north of Spain. They fall in love with a tiny Castilian village, and set about restoring a long-forgotten, falling down villa that will soon be their new home. Letting go of old ways, they get swept up in the colourful goings-on of their Spanish neighbours and the challenges of living a new life on a new continent - all while becoming minor celebrities among baffled locals who can't understand why anyone would want to cross the world to live in their modest village.
Sunset in Spain is a warm, funny and poignant story of a couple's search for new challenges and the joys to be had in ramping things up when most of us would be happy to start winding down.
