«De fel e mel» is the young adult novel by Patxi Zubizarreta, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (152 pages, in Galician).

After scraping by in Marrakech, he crosses into Spain in a truck and reaches the Basque Country, where he finds love and friendship, but also the harshness of being an illegal immigrant. The work denounces people smuggling and torture, and addresses Moroccan culture, oral tradition, racism and xenophobia.
