About this listen
A few years ago, Matthew (with his family's help) went back and bought the place. Astonishing and arguably idiotic, his decision resulted in a phenomenal amount of hard work, and this hugely enjoyable book. Inspirational, instructional, and utterly irresistible, this is the story of one man's dream to turn a forgotten ruin into his very own Castle in Spain.

Warming story of a grand project
This story inspired me so much that I went to see the “castle”, which is in Barcelona, Spain - and I live in Australia!
It chronicles the efforts of four relatives to restore an old 15th century mansion, which otherwise would have rotted away. You can helped be impressed by not only their craziness to even attempt such a project, but their resilience and determination to continue when things inevitably went wrong.
It is warmly told, well read, and in general a book that I found very inspiring.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
