Life Off-Grid: Sue and Ian’s Journey from a Derelict Farmhouse in Spain to Narrowboat Living

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.
