Description
Could you leave your keys under the doormat and let strangers commandeer your home?
"A great addition to a wonderful series."
"Craig's writing makes me feel like he has known me for a long time and is telling me as a friend about his experiences as an expat in Spain."
"After reading this I just had to go back and read the previous 3 books again..."
"Excellent, funny book Craig. Love the humour.... Typifies life among the Spanish."
Craig Briggs and his wife Melanie moved to Galicia in the northwest corner of Spain in May 2002. His bestselling memoir JOURNEY TO A DREAM tells the story of their challenging first year. Since then their lives have changed beyond imagination. OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD is the fourth book in The Journey series.
In OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD Craig and Melanie finally take possession of a romantic ruined farmhouse in the sleepy village of Vilatán but all is not as it seems. Hidden behind the picturesque facades of quaint village houses lies a family feud of biblical proportions. When sibling rivalry threatens to delay their renovation project, the local community rallies to their aid.
The shortcomings of buying a property without public utilities soon surface. Mystical powers and divine intervention locate a likely water source but connecting to the national electricity grid proves far more difficult. Progress is slow, hindered in part by the leisurely pace of Spanish bureaucracy. When patience fails, they take matters into their own hands.
Life in Galicia is never dull. Craig and Melanie's thirst for knowledge takes them into the shady world of moonshine production where a chance encounter with a man of science saves them from getting blind drunk. Craig's eye for an opportunity produces mixed results, from death defying accidents to intercontinental travel.
More than ever, Craig and Melanie are learning from the past, living in the present, and looking forward to the OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD.
"What an amazing series of books..."
"I like Craig's style of writing, his turn of phrase, humour and wit."
"Another excellently written book..."
"They truly are living the dream..."
