In this episode of the Alternative Living Chats podcast, we dive into the inspiring journey of Sue and her husband Ian, who spent 20 years renovating a derelict farmhouse in Spain and living off-grid. Situated two hours south of Barcelona in Tortosa, Sue shares the hardships and joys of their unique lifestyle, from enduring cold winters in a caravan to thriving in their self-sufficient home powered completely by solar energy.

Listen as Sue reveals the challenges and rewards of keeping an array of animals, the bittersweet task of re-homing them, and their plans to return to the UK to embrace a new off-grid life aboard a narrowboat. Sue reflects on the community bonds formed and gives a heartfelt perspective on living in Spain, all while looking forward to new adventures on the British waterways.
