British on The Costa Del Sol

<p>'Brits in Spain' first achieved notoriety during the 1980s - popularly imagined as a group made up of exiled criminals drunken hooligans and leathery looking pensioners - welcome to 'Little England'! <em>The British on the Costa Del Sol</em> is the very first book to study this British expatriate community in any great depth and through use of interviews with members of this community paints a far more complex picture of its members. In doing so the author explodes the popularly held stereotype of 'Brits in Spain'. What emerges is a rich account of who migrates their reasons for migration and the day to day realities of expatriate life.</p>
