No I've never actually met him although I have noticed his book in all the book shops-I'll give the first chapter a read when I'm next in Malaga....in a week or so when I'm doing some street photography during the august fair.

Ever run into that guy Tony?
(Classic naieve question of a foreigner geographically ignorant) but he may have travelled in similar circles being an ex-muso.

I'll never forget the descicrption of the old, seemingly informal but constantly maintained drainage systems of andalusia in "driving over lemons" by Chris Stewart. Piles of rock and furrows of clay importantly maintained in the same way year by year.

Unfortunately, this delicate balance is,in many inland areas,NOT being taken into account.
The tempreture here today,at just after midday, was 41centigrade!Quite normal for the time of year but really unpleasant- it was up to 48 in Seville yesterday in the shade!!

Excellent. I imagine human beings have used the resources of Andalucia in the same manner for aeons. a very delicate balance.

Yes it's a great concern there I know Tony.
As they continue to create more and more golf courses the situation can only get worse..... There just doesn't seem to be any effort going into educating the tourists to save water, and most of them are not aware there is a shortage!
I shall of course do my very best to conserve that most precious of resources when we relocate there in about a months time.
