How does it feel to watch an unspoiled Spanish village grow and change over the course of fifteen years? This very personal memoir of a string of summers spent on the Costa Calida charts the evolution of a beautiful and sheltered hideaway from close-knit community to developed resort. With echoes of Rose Macauley, this deeply felt description of a tiny Spanish village is full of anecdotes, poems and personal stories. Read it to discover more about this relatively little-known area, but also to fall in love with the people and the culture, just as the author has.
