About A Basque Diary: Living In Hondarribia
Product Description When cartoonist Alex Hallatt wanted to learn Spanish, she moved to the Basque Country. She thought she might stay a few months and ended up there for over two years, living in a small town near San Sebastian. This is the illustrated account of her years in Hondarribia. It is a useful resource for anyone planning on spending time in the Basque Country, detailing what to expect in each month and how to make the most of the geographical, culinary and cultural attractions on offer. From the Author I only intended to live in Spain for a year, to improve my Spanish. But we ended up being there for two years and it was hard to leave, because Hondarribia is a very special place. I created this book to give an idea of why we loved the town so much. It was meant to be for an audience of visitors to Spain, but was well received in the town and many people bought it, even though they didn't understand English. Probably because there are a lot of drawings. At the time of writing this, I am working on a Spanish translation. About the Author Alex Hallatt was born and brought up in the West Country in England. She emigrated to New Zealand, where she met her partner, Duncan and his dog, Billie. They spent a few years living in Australia, England & Spain and, at time of writing, are heading back to New Zealand, where Alex hopes to plant a garden, Duncan plans to do a lot more fishing and Billie plans to avoid having to go in the cargo hold of a plane ever again.
