A MID-LIFE ADVENTURE IN THE CATALAN COUNTRYSIDE Two Scorpios with a relationship of only six months, minimal Spanish, amateur DIY skills, and no catering experience what could possibly go wrong? This story isn t just about DIY. It offers a glimpse into life among the wonderful rural folk of Catalonia, where the author forged lifelong friendships and learned about a region steeped in history, still bearing the scars of the civil war 70 years earlier. The story culminates in the arrival of their first guests keen fishermen eager to explore the depths of the mighty Ebro River. Witnessing their joy as they pursue their dreams of catching huge carp and catfish is a highlight of their adventure. Interspersed with tales of rural life are explorations of idyllic mountain villages throughout northeastern Catalonia, from the Knights Templar fortress in Miravet to the fields of Horta Saint Joan, where a young Picasso once sketched local farmers. Laughter and local charm abound in this easy-to-read and heartwarming memoir.
