Santana Books ceases trading at the end of this year

Fantastic discounts on the best books about Spain

SPAIN -- The reason this piece is datelined 'Spain' instead of Mijas-Pueblo, where they're based, is that the news that Santana Books is closing at the end of the year will affect English-speakers all over the country. Self-described as Publishers of Essential Books on Spain, they (and the authors) have given us some of the best books on the country anywhere. Titles include You and the Law in Spain (by David Searle), now in its 16th updated edition, I believe, and a veritable bible on the convoluted laws of hereabouts. Other titles: A Guide to Wild Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar (by John Butler),  Apartment Gardening Mediterranean Style (by Clodagh and Dick Handscombe) ... you can check them out here; they're offering fantastic discounts on most of them, so get moving!
