Buy My Book

I am author of the acclaimed Going Native in Catalonia. Written in 2008, it is much more than just a guide book and an essential resource for both the intelligent tourist and anyone intending to come and live in Catalonia. The book was rereleased by Summertime Publishing in 2012 and is available on my friend Rod Younger's Books4Spain as well as Amazon. Later in the year, I plan to turn some of the material I am creating for Barcelona Travel Guide into a new book about Barcelona for Summertime.
