Description
The Hotel in Spain is a light-hearted account of life in 1930s Spain. In 1934, Nancy and Archie Johnstone left their jobs to build and run their own hotel in the Costa Brava. Despite initial doubts, Tossa de Mar became a popular destination for international writers and artists. Within a year, the hotel had attracted a vibrant community of creatives. The story that follows is an entertaining and humorous look at the ups and downs of this expatriate group before the outbreak of the Civil War. This book offers a unique glimpse into a fascinating period in Spanish history, told with warmth and wit by its author.
