Mañana: From Byker to Barcelona; an expat's frank account of living the dream

By Wayne Connell

This is an authentic, no holds barred testament of the author's experiences in Spain. In this candid account, he lays bare the complexities of relocating, establishing a business, and raising a family in a foreign land.

Connell shares the challenging, and sometimes complex, realities of Spanish laws, customs and traditions. His story unveils the treatment he endured and the profound distaste he harbours towards the nation, and particularly the corruption of its administration.

Connell delves into the stark and often dark aspects of an antiquated system, and the snares and pitfalls to avoid if you want to hang onto your wealth and not run home with your tail between your legs. The author is speaking directly to those who invested their life savings in the pursuit of a sunnier existence in Spain and lost, but he also salutes those who dared and won.

This memoir is not for the fainthearted or for those who can only harbour idealistic notions of Spain as a carefree land of flamenco, tapas and sangria. Put away your rose-tinted glasses, It is a forthright account of the real Spain through the eyes of one of life's great observers.
