Errant in Iberia vividly describes the settings the author finds himself in when first exploring Spain, the capital city in particular, after deciding to make a life for himself there.

As if this travel-writing was not enough, Ben explains his adapting to the culture in which he has immersed himself and how this immersion led to his current circumstances and marriage to his Spanish wife.

I am quite sure this would appeal to a wide range of people, from those who often read travel books, to those who have an interest in Spain, and those who dream and taking the drastic step of moving to a foreign country to change the direction of their lives.
I enjoyed it immensely.

I loved this book - I think the author did a great job describing the issues expats deal with and how wonderful life in Spain really is - I downloaded his podcasts on itunes as well and they are really cool. Great book - I highly recommend

Ben travels to Spain and finds true love.
He is a very evocative writer and this book flows along quickly.
I highly recommend it.

Having listened to Ben and Marina's podcasts for over 3 years, I had some background into Ben's story before I bought the book. This made it even more interesting. It frames the expat context very honestly, and Ben is nothing but sincere in outlining the circumstances that brought him to Spain. It's an interesting story which touches on cultural adjustment, language learning and finding your true passion, with loads of funny anecdotes along the way. Most of all, I like the positive way Ben tells his message: "if I can do it, so can you". A light, fun, interesting and very worthwhile read.
Cheers
