an old finca in the Spanish countryside

FastCounter by bCentral

Restoring a derelict or rundown farmhouse or similar property in the Spanish countryside can provide you with a unique holiday home at a very reasonable cost. You may even find you like it so much that you decide to stay for good.

If you have some DIY skills, the work involved beneath Spain’s sunny skies can be thoroughly enjoyable, and your time will be well invested.

When Alec Fry, together with his Norwegian-born wife Erna, took on the restoration of a 300-year-old farmhouse in the Malaga mountains, they wrote a book about their experiences. Not a romanticised tale for the armchair traveller, but a down-to-earth handbook based on their practical experience. It has now been published by Santana Books, called “FINCA: Renovating an Old Farmhouse in Spain”.

This web site is being developed to help those in a similar position. It continues the story of the book, and will interest all who feel like putting their spare time and energy to good use in idyllic surroundings.
