Channel 5’s “Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun” provides a look into the lives of British expats chasing their dreams under the Spanish sun. This Thursday’s episode features business ventures, birthday bashes, and beach workouts, capturing the highs and lows of life abroad.
For Andy and Rita, the pressure is on. After three years of hard work at their supermarket in Torrevieja, they hope this is the week they finally find a buyer. The mini-mart’s been on the market for seven months with no takers, so the tension is palpable. Meanwhile, in Albir, Alison and Keith are pulling out all the stops for their bar’s first birthday party. They’re hoping the celebration will draw in more customers and raise the bar’s profile, though ominous storm clouds threaten to put a damper on their plans. And on the beach, Jade and her apprentice Karen continue their boot camp, pushing their clients – and themselves – to the limit.
From supermarket sales to bar birthdays, this episode presents the realities of running a business in Spain. It’s a look at the resourcefulness, community spirit, and occasional setbacks experienced by Brits abroad, all while soaking up the sun. Tune in to Channel 5 this Thursday, 29 May at 4:00 PM GMT.
