Meet the British, the Italians, the Americans, the Germans, the Scandinavians, the South Africans and many more living in Catalunya.
It is not a secret society, but so far word of mouth has been the main way we find each other. Yet we have car boot sales and get togethers to find our favourite English foods, books, and other cultural tastes from back home. Plus, of course, we help newcomers negotiate their way through the fun of settling in the Ebro River delta area. We know how to get you electrical, plumbing or concrete help in English, not to mention schooling and medical aid.
Drop me a line through the contacts page and I will add you to the Ebro Expats mailing list. Do let me know what languages you speak so we can help each other and act as translators when needed.
Books:
Oh
how desperate can we be for a good English book. It is getting
much better, but we will never have as many to share or browse
through as we did back home.
So
we need to be more selective, and help each other find the
best available books here in the sun.
Watch
this site for book reviews, book stores, and book friends. And then a complete discussion board for Expats.
For
the curious reader, the tourist, the expat settler (in particular)
and anyone else who likes popular and interesting books -
mostly in English of course.
And
of course, book reviews and sources for the traveler, researcher,
tourist, photographer, knowledge seeker and dreamer looking
for suggestions on what to read on Valencia, Barcelona, Catalonia,
the Costa Brava and the Ebro River valley.
Plus
we will feature sections for the aspiring readers. For people
living in Spain and elsewhere on the continent trying to improve
their English.
PS
No fishing books! (those are on the fishing pages.. :)
Meanwhile, here is another Tortosa sunset scene.

For
the latest news from the Ebro River Valley.. as well as all
the way from Valencia to Barcelona, read the Voice
