Not all those that wander are lost...

Under the unforgiving heat of the Spanish sky and in a country scorched by tourism, one man flees the coastal ghettos in search of recipes for living another life. He is accompanied by a chef who can only ever look down and a ghostly hound who can only see beyond everything. Together, though the magnifying glass of one small town, they discover another history of people, culture, climate and some of the most relevant recipes for living in the 21st century.

Find out why Inside The Tortilla is: "not your typical expat handbook" and why novelist Mark Radcliffe wrote: "I'd recommend this to anyone visiting Spain regardless of whether they are going to discover the country or to turn red near Malaga; at worst it made me feel a more authentic tourist. At best, if helped me see a country."

And discover:

  • How to live in a Medieval barrio
  • How to report an amputated hand
  • How to defraud a bank
  • How to initiate a Cheese Revolution,
  • How to sing to the Toilet Roll King,
  • How to celebrate the history of the tapa
  • How to employ Passive Activity to learn a language
  • How to get a dog from hell off your roof
  • "Absolute delight, this book will appeal to all who crave the authentic earthy experience of living in another culture. Funny moving heart-warming, great story, real characters, marvellous hound."

    "Like Spain's most famous dish, Inside the Tortilla is a book that looks simple at first glance, but in reality has much more to it than meets the eye."
