Book Reviews

España Discovery Based on the idea behind 'France Passion', this is a guide to Spanish local producers who will allow motorhomers to visit and stay overnight. The España Discovery book is a compact size, running to about 200 pages. It's written in several languages including English and represents 8 years of input from its authors. The principle behind the scheme is that visitors, who are members of España Discovery by buying the book, can produce the current guide to the hosts on arrival. This allows them to take advantage of a 24 hour (maximum) stay without charge or obligation. Users are expected to abide by the conduct guide within the book.

A Monkey Ate My breakfast - Motorhome Adventures in Morocco by Julie and Jason Buckley This is a travel book written by Julie and Jason Buckley and it details their initiation (limited to one month by their insurance) into the world that is Morocco. They progress from timid newbies, seemingly nervous and apprehensive of every possible scenario that could unfold once in the country, to confident and experienced Moroccan motorhome travellers taking pretty well everything in their stride. They travelled as independents, as opposed to being in a guided group, so they learned their many lessons as they went along their way. The skill of bartering was mastered, saying 'No' to the frequent outstretched hands became easier, bureaucratic paperwork became more familiar and dealing with the often chaotic driving became second nature.
