Sun, sea, and sangria dreams meet the harsh realities of a fixed budget in Wednesday’s A Place in the Sun. Deb and Steve, escapees from Clacton-on-Sea, are trading grey skies for the Spanish costas, specifically the Roquetas de Mar region of Almería. Armed with £130,000 and the unwavering optimism that comes with retirement, they’re hoping to land their slice of Spanish paradise.
Property expert Ben Hillman, ever the pragmatist, has his work cut out for him. Finding five suitable properties within that budget is a tall order, even in Spain, and managing the expectations of newly-minted retirees can be trickier than navigating a Spanish roundabout during siesta. Will Deb and Steve find their dream home, or will their Spanish fantasy fade faster than a cheap bottle of Rioja in the midday sun? Tune in to find out.
A Place in the Sun airs Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at 6:00 PM on Channel 4.
