Camel Spit and Cork Trees: A Year of Slow Travel Through Portugal
Want to know what happens after the end of The Banana Road?
Camel Spit & Cork Trees takes up the story from the moment Andy and Jack step on the ferry to mainland Spain. It is a travelogue and memoir which is partly about learning to live as a foreigner in Portugal and partly about delving under the skin of areas that aren’t so well known outside of the country. It’s about the land, the people, the food, the weather, the wildlife … and the insects. It’s also packed full of historical, cultural, and quirky snippets picked up during a journey which is not only an education, it is a lot of fun … mostly.
But what’s camel spit got to do with anything? You’ll have to read the book to find out.
If you enjoy a Bill Bryson style mosey through a country, Camel Spit & Cork Trees is just up your street . . . or waymarked path. – FB, Amazon reviewer
