A description of the primitive conditions in a home in Spain in the 1970s:
Allí, a varios kilómetros del pueblo más cercano, sin luz eléctrica ni agua corriente, mis padres crearon el pequeño “edén” que todos disfrutamos fuera invierno o verano. Utilizábamos una nevera de barco y el agua la traíamos desde un manantial
