No. 1 Bestseller in Family Travel, and No. 1 New Release in Spain & Portugal Travel, Family Travel, Senior Travel.

When Jean buys a house in Spain following a breakdown, she dreams of vibrant Spanish art, passionate flamenco, and cocktails at sunset. Her glorified image of life abroad is crushed as she battles rogue tradesmen and vicious local wildlife.

From stalking a neighbour to encountering trees with testicles, will she weather the storms of expat life or wish she had never left the UK?

A Kiss Behind the Castanets is the first instalment of Jean Roberts’s lighthearted and uplifting tale in her Moving to Spain series.



Perfect for fans of Victoria Twead, Chris Stewart, and Alan Parks.
