What you need to know before your trail

Chris Stewart, skilled sheep-shearer and sometime Genesis drummer, took one look at the Alpujarrás, the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, and decided that’s where he wanted to be. This is the story of his adventures coming to terms with the terrain, the lifestyle and, of course, the locals, who possess all the rugged, homespun charm you’d expect.

Travel Guide

An Englishman abroad – this is not a typical English man and this is not a typical journey. He travels, lives and breathes the mountains and the Andalusian landscape and way of life. This is the travel diary and personal feelings of a man who evokes and draws you into his mind and his life. You definitely see the landscape through his eyes. As he learns to adapt, live side by side with the people and culture he’s dreamed of. If you envy him or even want to do the same yourself, dangle your toe in the water with this witty and warm view of rural Spain.
