Los vecinos and other animals

Brief essays from the pueblo

The essays of ex-pat life in "Los vecinos & other animals" have been adapted from articles published in "The Reader", an English-language newspaper based in Almería and distributed principally to the large population of British and other foreign nationals based in the Murcia region of Southern Spain.
The column, "Outside the Box", which appeared in "The Reader" between 2009 and 2010, followed the same pattern as the "Capital Letters" column published for some years in "The New Entertainer", with occasional Spanish phrases incorporated into the mainly English texts.
