In the Garlic

In The Garlic - a translation of the Spanish idiom 'in the know' - is a quirky vibrant book packed with helpful information, insights, anecdotes, stories, jokes and fascinating nuggets that illuminate the mysteries of everyday life in Spain. From saints' days to sausages, bureaucrats to bollycaos, languages to lotteries, Galicia to the Guardia Civil and telephone companies to Pérez the tooth mouse, it is an essential companion for anyone living in or moving to Spain - or, indeed, for anyone with a simple passion for the country and its people.

Essential items revealed include: 

• The one law of Spanish bureaucracy you need to know.
• The one person you can't do without.
• The one time of day you should never do business.
• The one person you should always tip.
