But unlike most of us, he decided to pursue his dream.In May 2002 Craig, his wife Melanie and their dog Jazz, left their home town of Huddersfield in England's industrial north and set off for Galicia, a remote and little known province in the northwest corner of Spain.And so began their Journey To A Dream.With help from the locals, they quickly settle in to their new, relaxed lifestyle but the search for a new home soon changes that. They encounter a freelance estate agent of dubious character and after several failed attempts to buy a home are forced to reassess their goals.Worse follows: a brush with the law, a temperamental builder and the mysterious disappearance of their life savings. The spectre of failure and a penniless return to England hovers over them.Join Craig, Melanie, and Jazz along a colourful, bumpy and at times, dangerous journey and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and tastes of their Galician paradise.
