I make no apologies for dedicating the first few chapters of this book to the work that was needed to fulfil our dream. Once you’ve ploughed through them, you’ll hopefully have some idea of how we saw our project developing. From then on, I wanted to take you with us on a journey around a wonderful location that we just happened upon and share some of its history we discovered.
Now, at the time of writing, we’ve spent almost 24 years away from the UK living in several parts of Spain and southwest France, but Flix has a very special place in our hearts. As do the locals, many speaking no English, but communication was by virtue of a deep friendship and a bond that remains even today. In some ways, we were slaves to our own success. We loved the occupation we carved out for ourselves and success followed in abundance. In the end, after some years of really fulfilling work, we couldn’t expand in our present home and it was time to pass it on to a new family in the hope that they would have as much enjoyment and pleasure as we did, putting their stamp on the Finca and the beautiful San Juan valley in which it sits.
