In 1962 twenty-year-old Jill left her dank Notting Hill bedsit determined to have a Spanish horseback adventure, preferably with bandits...
She hoped to follow in the footsteps of the great adventurers that she had read about in her father’s books, but found herself in a heavily catholic, macho country that the swinging sixties seemed to have forgotten. The black-clad widows eyed her suspiciously and the locals thought she was a whore.
Undeterred, she immersed herself in Spanish culture: learning the language, trying the food and joining a riding party that weaved its way through the vibrant countryside, studded with white villages.
Join Jill on her journey as she explores the beauty, charm and culture of Andalucia: from the dangers of bullfighting to the joys of sipping sherry under the stars.
