There have been a lot of online articles and comments following the broadcast of the much-awaited 2nd part of Paradise Lost last Wednesday, the ITV documentary detailing the traumas of everyday Brits who have had a nightmare in Spain. I have to admit that I was a bit confused at the end of the programme. Most of the airtime was devoted to a group of very content expat Brits in the La Marina region of the Costa Blanca – not everyone´s cup of tea, but a lot of people´s idea of paradise. Then there was the Queen of Marbella Real Estate, Kristina Szekely, getting herself all excited about what people get up to in jacuzzis, whilst showing us around several OTT luxury villas in Marbella . And finally, the tale of a Huddersfield hairdresser who was determined to make a success of his newly opened salon in Marbella by charging people top dollar. All very aspirational….and frankly no harm at all to the Spanish real estate market , especially in the Marbella and Puerto Banus areas. The only negative during the oddly titled programme was the horrific tale of a group of Brits who were in danger of having their properties in Almeria bulldozed. Whilst this is indeed the most extreme example of ´when things go wrong´ I was told by a lawyer on the Costa del Sol yesterday that the dispute had now been resolved and that the Junta de Andalucia had been forced to back down from their threats – funnily enough NOT something that was reported in the programme. The whole thing left me a little cold – just another example of a badly researched piece of scare-mongering nonsense.

It´s been a while since I´ve been on holiday. A few city breaks aside, it´s actually trickier than you may think to find a suitable destination when you live year-round in Southern Spain, with beaches, sun and sangria on tap! I took a business trip to the Southern Costa Blanca last week, as I needed to review our inventory of properties for sale on the Costa Blanca , in areas such as La Zenia , Playa Flamenca , Cabo Roig and Villamartin , all traditionally popular with British expats, holidaymakers and prospective 2nd home owners. I had forgotten just how much the Brits love their beaches – my goodness, from sunrise to sunset, the beach in front of the La Zenia Hotel was full of sun worshippers, all lapping up as much of the strong Spanish sun as possible. And when it came to the nighttime, I had forgotten just how much the Brits love their beer! While a talented duo belted out familiar favourites from the likes of Celine Dion and Whitney Houston on the poolside terrace, the Brits were getting stuck into the San Miguel and the Vodka and Tonics like they were going out of fashion! Even though there was a stiff cool breeze being whipped up off the sea, the general concensus seemed to be “ We´re on our hols, so we´re staying outside”! While the behaviour was all perfectly acceptable, and although I am as British as the next person, I did feel strangely out of place. After all, I live here, I rarely take a beach holiday in Spain , and so I struggled to identify with the obvious need for these tourists to let off steam during their regular annual break. It also prompted a degree of envy – seeing these people so relaxed, enjoying themselves so wholeheartedly, it got me pining for a holiday of my own – somewhere to laze on a beach all day, with no phones ringing, no distractions, and plenty of lager on tap. Maybe I should try the Costa Blanca – it looked perfect!
