Stewart, notable for being the original drummer of the rock band Genesis, traded his musical career for an itinerant life that eventually led him to the Alpujarras region of southern Spain. This updated edition includes a supplementary chapter set twenty-five years after the original events, reflecting on the long-term realities of his pastoral relocation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriving Over Lemons is an insightful and frequently humorous account of Chris Stewart’s impulsive decision to purchase El Valero, an isolated peasant farm in the Andalucian mountains. Handing over a cash deposit with scarcely a second thought, Stewart quickly discovers that he has acquired not just a farm bereft of running water, electricity, or an access road, but also the previous owner, Pedro Romero, who has absolutely no intention of vacating the property. Alongside his wife, Ana, Stewart sinks his life savings into the estate and a flock of sheep. The narrative chronicles their challenging yet deeply rewarding integration into a rugged landscape and a community of idiosyncratic farmers, shepherds, and expatriates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54106879459667,"sku":"4519","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/9781908745859.jpg?v=1782480821","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/driving-over-lemons-chris-stewart","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
