O knihe

For years, Boyce and Kay Quinn dreamed of living abroad.

They'd traveled extensively, but they wanted a deeper experience; one they felt could not be
achieved by simply traveling through a country. They did not, however, want to renovate
a villa or raise goats in the mountains. Their goal was to live comfortably in a historic city
and to fill each day with pleasure and discovery.

They chose Granada, Spain, to live out their dream. There were a few hurdles. First, they
didn't speak Spanish. Second, they knew not one person living in Spain. Third, they
arrived without a place to live.

At Least One Balcony tells their story from beginning to end, from planning their
adventure, obtaining visas, and renting an apartment, to surviving excessive togetherness,
coping in a foreign language, improvising holidays abroad, and becoming members of the neighborhood.

At Least One Balcony also contains a sprinkling of the history of Spain as well as information about the language, the royal family, and the Spanish lifestyle. Often humorous, filled with frustrations and triumphs, At Least One Balcony describes how Boyce and Kay met
the challenge of learning to live in Granada, Spain.
