When Carole Power agreed to give up her job as a teacher in a large Comprehensive School, in order to work in a bar in Southern Spain, little did she realise what she was letting herself in for.

It isn't long before she dumps, Lyle, her two-timing boyfriend, gives in her notice at the bar run by his hen-pecked brother, Ben, and dippy sister in-law, Angi, and finds herself in desperate need of a job.

When, Guillermo, a mysterious Spanish neighbour gets himself in a spot of bother, Carole, and new friend, Sarah-Jane, rush to the rescue: this is only the beginning of Carole's great Spanish adventure.
