At the age of fifty-two, Dvora Treisman took her cat and flew off from the San Francisco Bay Area to a new life in Barcelona. She had gone salsa dancing, met and married a Catalan, and they were going to live in his hometown. Things didn't work out as planned and that set off an even greater adventure than she had bargained for. Treisman has lived in Catalonia for over twenty years.

Here is her story.
