In the Garlic, Valerie Collins and Theresa O'Shea

Your informative, fun guide to Spain

 

In The Garlic (from the Spanish expression en el ajo, meaning clued up, in the know) is a quirky and vibrant book packed with helpful information, insights, anecdotes, stories, jokes and fascinating nuggets that illuminate the mysteries of everyday life in Spain. From saint's days to sausages, bureaucrats to bollycaos, languages to lotteries, Galicia to the Guardia Civil, and telephone companies to Pérez the tooth mouse, In The Garlic is an essential companion for anyone living in or moving to Spain - or simply with a passion for the country and its people. What makes this book unique is that it is both useful and fun.

"If you ever wondered what this country was all about, this is the book for you. In the Garlic is the next best thing to being married to your own personal guide, i.e. a Spaniard!" Brenda Padilla, presenter OCI Radio, Marbella
