4.0 out of 5 stars
Concise and to the point,
By Sally Adams-Smith (Warwick, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live & Work in Spain & Portugal, 3rd (Paperback)
When I started looking for a place in the sun I found this book very helpful. It provides a bird's eye view of life and work in the two countries of the Iberian Peninsula. It is the kind of book to start with before you make a decision and then start focusing on the country of your choice. It is concise and to the point.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Concise and useful,
This review is from: Live & Work in Spain & Portugal, 3rd (Paperback)
This is a very good book for someone who wants to have an overview of what it will be like to live and work in Spain and Portugal. Once you have opted for a country then you may want something more focused and comprehensive on the country of your choice, in my case Holtom's Working and living: Portugal. But this book is excellent for a first read and more. Though covering both countries, it still manages to address many important issues, like schools and education; health; and others. Very good for a short stay, still useful for settling in. Glad I bought it.
