Too many burgers in Marbella, and not enough buns!

Welcome to Marbella with Him & Her, a weekly podcast about Marbella on Spain's Costa del Sol, hosted by married couple PJ Lopez (@pjlopez1marbella) and Hannah Murray (@radiohannah) This week they start with their invite to The Burger Cup in San Pedro de Alcantara, which was a burger festival taking place on the boulevard. The opening night was Monday, which is when they were invited to try a burger from one of the competitor burger stations. Listen to see if things went to plan and how they got on, and of course what they thought of the burger. They also discuss their invite to Cilantro in San Pedro which has been open a year or so but was mainly a Lebanese delicatessen and takeaway. Over the last few weeks, they have been converting the inside space to be more of a restaurant and the owner and his daughter invited PJ and Hannah to try their food for the San Pedro Guide (@sanpedromarbellaguide). They tried a selection of authentic Lebanese dishes including Hummus, Baba Ganoosh, Falafel, Lebanese pizza and baklava. Listen for more information on how it went and what they thought of the food. Hannah's fitness regime went into overdrive with back-to-back classes (body pump and body combat) as well as Pilates with her Goddaughter. Hannah's interview highlight this week was with Dominic Ferris, one of the UK biggest piano stars, speaking about stage fright. The rest of the week was very much about preparation for their annual BBQ which rather than on the beach in San Pedro this year, was held at their house. Listen to the podcast for all the details of the food, the preparation, the people that came and the winner of their battle of the playlists. Articles from this week’s Euro Weekly News include information on the total eclipse happening in Spain this week and where it can be seen.
