Stripped in Spain: One woman's journey
through foreign relocation, renovation and relationship disaster
‘Like their passionate relationship, the dream of a new
life in sunny Spain falls drastically apart for eccentric couple
Dawn & Rocco as they take on the renovation of a beautiful villa
in the hills outside Barcelona. This unconventional Canadian/British former
rockstar couple suffer the extremes of relationship and renovation
hell, narrowly surviving a series of horrifying and sometimes hilarious
encounters through Spanish cultures, systems, and way of life - to
television audiences around the world. Buckler spins a vibrant,
honest and risky account of what happens when the cameras leave and
the reality of two property-virgins facing a reno project in a foreign
land, without any experience, knowledge or common sense, hits them
smack on. The result is a fiery and emotional tale of lost
love, lost money and lost minds.
“Just try putting this book down. You’ll pour through
it, laughing, cringing and yelling at their combined ignorance. Buckler
spins an almost unbelievable tale of deceit, passion, dreams and
disaster in a descriptive and dynamic style. Recommended reading
for anyone who wants to feel normal – after meeting Dawn & Rocco,
life seems wonderfully mundane.”
