A Place in the Sun continues its escapist offerings, this time venturing into the picturesque landscapes of inland Granada. Gill and Chris, celebrating their 13th anniversary, are on a mission to find a unique retreat: a cave house. Trading traditional brick and mortar for the rustic charm of a cave dwelling, they’re seeking a property that reflects their desire for a peaceful and unconventional lifestyle. But can they find their dream cave within their £90,000 budget?
Granada, with its rich history and dramatic scenery, offers a stark contrast to the coastal properties often featured on the show. The hunt for a cave house adds another level of difficulty to the search. These unique dwellings, carved into the hillsides, offer a blend of history and modern comfort. However, finding one that meets Gill and Chris’s specific requirements and budget will require careful consideration.
Presenter Laura Hamilton will be guiding the couple through the process, helping them weigh the pros and cons of cave living. From the practicalities of insulation and ventilation to the potential challenges of renovation and maintenance, there’s much to consider. Will they find a property that fulfills their vision, or will the search lead them down an unexpected path?
