2000s: For a man who used to drive over lemons, they’re now his way of life!

What you need to know before your trail
Chris Stewart moved to a farm on the wrong side of a river in the mountains of southern Spain in search of a new life. He certainly got that! Now more than twenty years later, his children are gron up and life is changing on old El Valero farm
Chris is now a local literary celebrity, using his fame to help his old sheep-shearing partner find work on a raucous road trip; cooking a TV lunch for visiting British chef, Rick Stein; discovering the pitfalls of Spanish public speaking; and, most movingly, visiting famine-stricken Niger for Oxfam.
Yet it’s at El Valero, his beloved sheep farm, that Chris remains in his element. The lemons and oranges he drove over in pervious novels are now his way of life.
Travel Guide
The three fathers of the valley meet each morning as the children going back to school. Berandan, Jesus and Chris meet and this forms the start of a father’s get together. IT gives then a chance to discuss what was gong on in the valley, exchange what scant news there was from the town and reminisce.
A supper club on the mountains of the Alpujarra region without any food!
Living in rural Spain in the mountains with the best views and landscape ever – the smell of lemons, the sound of goats..but this is reality and life is hard.
The feeling of place, people and culture was strong
