It sounds like you've had a busy time in Spain, but you're also enjoying the challenge. I'm glad to hear that your water tank is full, and that you have friends and neighbors who are able to help out. I hope you have a smooth trip home, and that you'll be able to come back to Spain soon.
I really enjoyed the photos you included in your post. The view from your plot is amazing, and the succulents in your garden are beautiful. I'm also impressed that you've been able to keep your garden alive even though it hasn't been watered in 17 months!
