Simon Reeve recently explored the greenhouses of Almeria in Southern Spain as part of his series on the Mediterranean. I read his book over the Christmas period.
This is not a new story, but there are many geographical connections to be made here.
I put together a lesson on this area a few years ago for an observation lesson, and the materials for that are available online on my Slideshare page.
Darren Anderson has written about this area too, along with others. His piece in the Atlantic journal outlines one possible vision for our rural futures, involving technology.
And recently, Internet Geography added a case study on this area, which has saved me a lot of time, as it includes some useful images, mapping and data.
