In the shrewd, comical spirit of Peter Mayle and Bill Bryson, Derek Lambert discovers

the charms and idiosyncrasies of Spain as he experiences the rewards and frustrations

of beginning a new life there.

As Lambert and his wife set about

restoring their moldering casita on Spain's Mediterranean Costa Blanca and learning

to live the life of Spanish villagers, he introduces us to a nation far removed from

the matadors, tapas bars, and sangria swillers.

He uncovers the ""real"" Spain-a nation

of passionate, eccentric, often contradictory, but always enchanting people.

Unpredictable,

often hilarious, and animated by colorful characters, Spanish Lessons presents an

intimate and delightful portrait of off-the-tourist-track Spain.
