Gone to Spain: You Too Can Realise Your Dream of a Better Lifestyle [Paperback]

... it is one of the best books on the market for anyone considering starting a new life in Spain.

After a long and successful career in marketing and PR, Tom Provan took the decision to leave England and move to Spain. In this book you'll learn from his experiences. Some are positive, some are frustrating and some are very funny. For anyone contemplating making the same move here is valuable information to help you make the decision that is right for you - and avoid pitfalls.

In this book I have tried to provide the reader with an objective description and view of what it is really like to relocate from the UK to Spain. I deal with the various topics honestly and objectively and I am not afraid to criticise some of the problems which could face someone doing the same thing. The information contained in the book has been checked for accuracy by Spanish friends and should therefore be dependable.

At frequent points in the text I have taken the opportunity to insert practical points which should be taken into account by anyone making a similar decision.

Gone to Spain is not a description of a lyrical return to nature, buying a farm or a vineyard or learning how to cope with a different culture. There are other books which do this. Rather it is a description of how I changed a suburban lifestyle in London for a similar lifestyle in the sun of the Costa del Sol. This is actually what most people do and therefore this book is, I believe very pertinent to anyone thinking of making such a decision. Gone to Spain might help you avoid making time and money-wasting decisions.

Tom Provan had a long career in marketing, public relations and government relations before taking the decision to leave the UK and relocate to Spain. This is his first published book but further titles are currently in the planning stage.
