I've picked up three second hand books today from Terra Sana on the Golden Mile. Next to their restaurant they have a deli selling delicious scented handmade soaps for under 4 euros, organic foods, hair and skin products made with olive oil and second hand English books. I love reading and miss an English library so much. I order in bulk from Amazon and occasionally spend 10 euros on an imported book from Bookworld Espana but mostly I rely on a mum at school to give me her cast offs and for holiday makers that leave me their finished books in the apartment I look after.
With three children there isn't often the time for the luxury of reading and being taken gently to another time and place, but I snatch 10 minutes here and there whilst waiting for the school bell. Rather than talk to other mums in the playground, I find a stone wall, perch and read.
So if you live in Marbella head to Terra Sana, the books are 2 euros each and the proceeds go to buying sapling trees to plant in a nature reserve. So I don't have to feel so guilty reading a book after all.....
About Me

- My name is Anna and I've been living in Marbella on the Costa del Sol for 8 years. A recent convert to camping, ( had no idea how much fun it could be, yes, seriously) and spend most of my Thursdays whining to my husband, pleading for him to take me and the three little darlings for a week-end camping by the white, unspoilt beaches of Tarifa, right on the Atlantic Ocean.
