Graciela: The journey of an Argentinian woman who reinvented herself many times

In this episode, Graciela, a woman from Buenos Aires (Argentina) who arrived in Britain in 1993, talks about her experience in the UK as a sales assistant at the airport, a seed grower in her Adlington garden, a mother of three children, and, more generally, a passionate woman who follows her heart. After 30 years in the UK, in 2023 Graciela decided to move to Cehegin, in Spain, where she has created her own B&B called Finca Grace.
