Comments: Driving Over Lemons - An Optimist in Spain. Author: Chris Stewart. This is the adventure of Chris Stewart and his wife, Ana, who purchased an isolated sheep farm in the Alpujarra Mountains in Southern Spain. Lush with olive, lemon, and almond groves, the farm lacks a few essentials - running water, electricity, an access road. And then there's the problem of rapacious Pedro Romero, the previous owner who refuses to leave. A perpetual optimist, whose skill as a sheepshearer provides an ideal entree into his new community. Wholly enchanted by the rugged terrain of the hillside and the people they meet along the way - among them farmers, including the ever-resourceful Domingo, other expatriates, and artists - Chris and Ana build an enviable life, complete with a child and dogs, in a country far from home.
