Marbella with Him & Her

It is the latest episode of the popular Marbella lifestyle podcast 'Marbella with Him & Her', packed full of new places to eat, new places to visit and a bit of humour thrown in for good measure. We start by mentioning something we completely forgot to mention in last week's episode, the unrehearsed play reading by ITS called Ladies Day. It was a great turnout with more people wanting to read than parts available. A fun night was had by all at the Atalaya Golf Resort and it was great to see some new faces wanting to get involved (@internationaltheatrestudio) Hannah's friend Nikki was here for a few days so it gave PJ a chance to get creative in the kitchen with a coq au vin in the pressure cooker. Whilst she was here, they went for brunch at Hustle n Flow and later for some tapas at G Wine (both in San Pedro) to catch up on their upcoming India trip Let's Goa!  Over 50 entrepreneurial women who are part of the sisterhood charity (@thesistrhoodgroup) set up by business woman @emsayle333 which supports empowerment for women will be driving tuk tuks from the east coast of India to the west coast at the beginning of March! https://fundraiser.bhumiusa.org/page/sisterhoodrally2025 [https://fundraiser.bhumiusa.org/page/sisterhoodrally2025] This is the link if you would like to sponsor Hannah on the trip  Hannah took her friend Sheila out for a long overdue birthday meal at the amazing San Pedro Argentinean restaurant Tafi (@tafimarbella) where they enjoyed some delicious food and a bottle of Malbec. Meanwhile PJ went to Nuevo Siglo just around the corner from Tafi to celebrate Chinese new year. Sadly the restaurant was not celebrating so it was basically just a normal night out in a Chinese! At the weekend we were both determined to get lots done and lots achieved, and we certainly managed it. We went on a walk of discovery around San Pedro finding little villages we did not know existed, new restaurants that had opened, new restaurants about to open, and the amazing Thai restaurant (Manee) in the Mana Park area of Parque Los Tres Jardines. On the way back and after walking 12kms we stopped for a caña at La Fria tapas bar which were €1.10 each! The Sur in English articles this week include the special concert Robbie Williams will be performing in Malaga port for TUI passengers and two thousand ticket holders. Also the cost of apartment rentals in Malaga make it the most expensive province in Andalucia to rent property. Hannah also mentions the new eatery called the Hungry Club Diner at Malaga Airport opened by one the best Michelin star chefs Dabiz Muñoz (@dabizdiverxo) serving some very interesting Spanish fusion food.

Welcome to the latest episode of Marbella with Him & Her, a lifestyle and travel podcast about Marbella and the Costa del Sol. As always you can follow Hannah on Instagram at @radiohannah and PJ at @pjlopez1marbella. In this weeks episode we talk about the start of the week being cold and wet, on the same day known as Blue Monday (the most depressing day of the year). Listen and find out how it affected our plans! Monday's for us has been for quite some time quiz night at home. We settle down to watch and join in with quiz shows Only Connect and University Challenge. We chat about our answers and point scoring. Hannah talks about her new favourite lunches and also about her previous favourite actually being mentioned as one of the healthiest foods. Listen to find out what they are. This week we were also excited to watch Hannah's friends Ian and Andrew on the tv series Amanda and Alan's Spanish Job, where they were with Amanda Holden and Alan Carr in their beautiful village of Moclin in Granada. It was time for Hannah's monthly quiz at Urban Chai which also happened to be Burns Night (@urbanchaicafe). Hannah was appropriately dressed for the occasion which obviously included a round about the Scottish bard himself. The monthly quiz is proving to be popular with all tables taken for this quiz and almost already full for February. Another monthly event for Hannah was also this week, where she meets up with her good friend Charlotte of Cervinco Wine for lunch. This month they headed to Old Town Marbella for a bit of a taps crawl which included Barril del Gusto (@barrildelgusto), Taberna Casa Curri (@tabernacasacurrimarbella), La Tienda Cassa Curro (@latiendacasacurro) and Marisqueria Casa Curro (@marisqueriacasacurro) After a bit more de-cluttering inspired by Ingrid Jansen (@declutterhub) we are preparing for the amber weather warning of high winds and big waves hitting the Costa del Sol on Monday. The Sur in English article this week is about Eva Longoria and Maria Bravo being part of the Marbella tourism promotional campaign launched at the Madrid travel fair Fitur. We also have a bit of a moan at GB News and the British press for mis-communicating the information about touristic licenses being granted in Malaga by wrongly stating that British Tourists will be banned from Spain for 3 years.

It is episode 45 of the Marbella lifestlye podcast Marbella with Him & Her, presented by PJ Lopez and Hannah Murray. Hannah spoke about filming in the executive suite at Hark Rock Hotel Marbella for Good Morning Spain TV this week! (@hrhmarbella @goodmorningspaintv)  Early on in the week we hit the gym in San Pedro with one of us (not mentioning any names, HANNAH, slightly overdoing it). There was a midweek birthday party for Hannah's friend Audrey which of course involved food and dancing! Hannah attended an online social media course on Thursday morning with Inge Hunter, one of the ladies that will be going on the India trip in March (@inge.hunter & @clue.content) On Friday we headed up to Fuengirola as Hannah was going to a Hen Party for our friend Fabiola. She went to a restaurant called La Solera where she enjoyed a three course menu, including wine, for an amazing price of just €19.50. Meanwhile PJ went to Christy's Irish Gastro pub and enjoyed fish and chips and a few pints of Guinness (@christysgastropubfuengirola) After a restful Saturday it was up early on Sunday to go geocaching close to La Zagaleta which involved a walk of 12km through some amazing countryside. The Sur in English article this week is about the best time to drink coffee to help with your life expectancy....listen to the podcast to fine out when that is! We also reveal the answers to the question we posed last week about the countries that do not have an area that could be coloured in if you wrote them in capital letters. We would love to hear any quiz questions you might have for us to include, so you can message Hannah at @radiohannah or PJ at @pjlopez1marbella

Welcome to episode 44 of your Marbella lifestyle podcast Marbella with Him & Her, with PJ Lopez and Hannah Murray. PJ has worked in digital marketing since 2003 while Hannah is a radio presenter on Talk Radio Europe @talk_radio_europe). They both belong to the amateur theatre group International Theatre Studio(@internationaltheatrestudio) and enjoy busy social lives. Hannah also runs a weekly pub quiz at the Irish pub The Hogan Stand (@thehoganstand) every Thursday. In this episode Hannah tells us about getting back to the gym and some of the classes she has done this week. She is also delighted to get back to a normal routine after Christmas and met her dad for a brunch on Friday where they tried out the new menu at Pandora in San Pedro (@pandora_cafeteria). Of course, having caused so much devastation in California we also have a chat about the horrendous wildfires that are ravaging across LA. Hannah is still on a mission to clear and de-clutter, which was all inspired after an interview she did a few years ago with Ingrid Jansen (@declutterhub). Both of us have also made a conscious effort with eating less, and healthier, and cutting back on drinking alcohol. On Saturday we took some clothes back that were Christmas presents and swapped them for some important stuff for Hannah's upcoming trip and tuktuk race across India. When we got back from shopping Hannah and her friend who is also doing the challenge booked the plane tickets for the different legs of the journey. On Sunday it was Hannah's Dad Bernie's birthday so along with Sheila, we took him on a mystery ride to a beautiful Spanish village about an hour and 20 minutes from San Pedro called Iznájar. After looking around the historic village we went for lunch at a beautiful lakeside chiringuito (@chiringuitoValdearenas)  Sheila ordered a chuleton of beef and it literally looked like a prehistoric animal was delivered. We were all expecting the Flintstones to rock up!! This week’s Sur in English article was about the MSC Magnifica making Malaga the first port of call on a round the world trip. We also spoke about Richard Gere being in Malaga to see Gypsy, having been invited by Antonio Banderas. Don't forget you can follow us individually on @radiohannah and @pjlopez1marbella

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR from Marbella with Him & Her, your weekly Marbella podcast from PJ Lopez and Hannah Murray (@pjlopez1marbella and @radiohannah). In our podcast we bring you news of the places we have been and the things going on around Marbella and the Costa del Sol, although this week we did go a little further into Andalucia to Ronda. Our podcast is a Marbella lifestyle guide covering expat life in Marbella, Spain. Most episodes cover everything from social events to travel and restaurant tips explained with our unique sense of humour. We start this episode with Hannah's nail appointment in Marbella that ended up costing much more than it needed to because of a parking fine (we give some advice in how to pay parking fines in Marbella). The following day Hannah went back to the celebrity hair salon in Marbella, Salon Maher (@salonmaher) and paid her fine! We started our New Year celebrations with drinks at home with friends and family. It was then off to The Hogan Stand (@thehoganstand) who always have the best new year's celebrations. No silly prices, just their usual menu and live entertainment throughout the night with Paul Hull (@paulhullmusic). Needless to say, there was lots of singing and dancing throughout the night! Thursday was Hannah's quiz 'The Big Fat Quiz of the Year', a popular quiz all realted to things from the past year. There were 16 teams participating with a fantastic atmosphere. On Friday 3rd we went to Ronda, only 45km from San Pedro, but via a very windy road so it takes about 45 minutes to drive there. We had been given a fabulous present by Bernie (Hannah's dad) and Sheila which was a night in the beautiful Boutique Hotel Palacio del la Duquesa (@palaciodeladuquesa). The hotel has only recently re-opened after a major refurbishment, and it is now stunning and highly recommended! Another part of the present was a tasting menu at the 2 Michelin star restaurant Bardal (@restaurantebardal) in the centre of Ronda. We were treated to an amazing 20 dish tasting menu full of incredible food and amazing flavours. The restaurant was visted during last summer by Robert Di Niro and it certainly lived up to all the hype. Whilst we were there we did the different walks to see the bridge that the city is famous for. Firstly, we went on the path that costs €5 per person but allows you to walk a long way down to under the bridge as well as to a viewing platform. After that we did the new bridge that costs €2.50 per person located just by the Parador Hotel and takes you to a lower level where you can go inside the bridge. Finally, we drove down to another area which is essentially right under the bridge giving another amazing perspective and views. When we arrived back home to Marbella, we decided to start the year with a de-clutter so we set to work in different parts of the house. We learnt how to fold fitted sheets thanks to a video from @thefoldinglady  The Sur in English articles this week include a strange story about Aldi recalling cutlery that has sharp edges, something that made us laugh as surely all cutlery has sharp edges?? We also talk about the Marbella v Athletico Madrid football match and also the Three Kings parades that were moved to the Saturday instead of Sunday due to the weather forecast.
