As Amanda Holden and Alan Carr’s Spanish adventure draws to a close, they’re pulling out all the stops for their grand finale. This Friday, BBC One airs the last episode of “Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job,” and it’s shaping up to be a fiesta of Moorish gold, sherry struggles, and heartfelt goodbyes.
Their final design challenge? A Moorish-gold-themed bar, inspired by a trip to Granada’s ancient Albaicín neighborhood. Amanda, ever the aesthete, envisions patterned wallpaper, opulent gold touches, and—most importantly—her first-ever light-up onyx bar. Alan, meanwhile, tackles the creation of an intellectual corner, complete with classic games and a bespoke chessboard crafted using the intricate art of taracea.
But it wouldn’t be an Amanda and Alan project without a few hiccups. Expect some DIY disasters as they grapple with wallpapering the ceiling in a complicated tiled design. And their attempt at rollerskating in Malaga? Let’s just say Amanda’s grace doesn’t exactly rub off on Alan.
Amidst the design dilemmas and comical mishaps, there’s a genuine sense of accomplishment. With the B&B renovation complete, they throw a farewell fiesta for their new local friends and family. As Amanda hangs the final gold drapes and lights up that coveted onyx bar, it’s clear this Spanish job has been more than just bricks and mortar; it’s been a journey of friendship and shared experiences. Tune in to BBC One this Friday, 14 March at 8:30 PM to witness the grand finale.
