Casita 26: Searching for a Slice of Andalusian Paradise

by Karethe Linaae

Have you ever wanted to get rid of everything you own and move someplace unfamiliar?

This is a true modern-day immigration tale of how Karethe and her husband Jaime left a North American city of millions for a small, rural mountain town in Andalucía.
What are the challenges of a transatlantic move in the 21st century? Will an outsider ever be fully welcomed, especially when settling in a very Catholic, hyper-traditional community located way off the freeway system?

Take the leap with Karethe and Jaime and discover a world of priceless riches, where passions and tempers run high, kisses are abundant, and where “Help thy neighbour” really means something.

This book accomplishes perhaps one of the most important parts of travel books: inspiring wanderlust and making the reader want to travel to the places where the book takes place. I learned a little about this region of Spain, and the book was an entertaining set of stories. Sometimes the writing is a bit cheesy and the conclusions simplistic, but Linaae is a likeable narrator. I may not care as much how or if their old casita is ever restored, but I feel I know Spain and Andalucía better after reading this book. An enjoyable read.
