    Christmas Parties in Marbella, new nails and Kylie Minogue

    We cannot actually believe we are on episode 40 of Marbella with Him & Her, your Marbella lifestyle podcast by PJ Lopez (@pjlopez1marbella) and Hannah Murray (@radiohannah). Each week we catch you up with what we have been up to as well as bringing you information on restuarants, events and things happening in and around Marbella on the Costa del Sol. This week it was a busy week of singing and Christmas parties, but before that, Hannah had her first StarTrading session to learn a bit about trading online. She was able to do Monday and Tuesday evening live but had to record the Wednesday session for later in the week as we had plans. First thing Wednesday the Del Sol Singers sang Christmas songs for a local group called CAP (Charity and Pleasure). Wednesday evening was the Good Morning Spain (@goodmorningspaintv) Christmas party at the Hard Rock Hotel in Marbella (@hrhmarbella), a great venue that went above and beyond to make sure everyone was looked after. On Thursday Hannah went to a new nail technician called Bella Nails (@bellanails.brona) where she had some amazing Christmas nail art done. After that Hannah then sang with the Del Sol Singers at the Age Concern lunch hosted at the Hogan Stand. While all that was going on PJ was in Gibraltar with his colleague and came back with a rather large bottle of Baileys for Christmas. Friday, Hannah was singing again at the Christmas market at the Victoria and Albert pub in Benavista with the Del Sol Singers, before getting ready to perform her one person Band Aid skit at the International Theatre Studio Christmas Party.  Meanwhile PJ was at the Manifesto Christmas party at La Sala (@lasalabanus)....probably best to leave that one there!! On Saturday we both went to the Talk Radio Europe (@talk_radio_europe) Christmas party at the Sea Grill (@seagrillrestaurant) located in the Puente Romano Resort in Marbella. Such a fantastic setting and amazing food. Sunday morning Hannah received a message from her colleague Giles Brown, saying that Kylie is performing in Seville in July. Being one of Hannah's absolute favourite singers, 10 minutes after receiving the message, tickets and hotel were booked! This week's Sur in English articles inlcuded the cheap train tickets from Malaga to Madrid and the upcoming Copa del Rey match between Marbella FC and Athletico Madrid.

    Christmas Choir Singing in Marbella, Burgers and Online Trading

    PJ and Hannah (@pjlopez1marbella and @radiohannah) bring you episode 39 of Marbella with Him & Her, your Marbella podcast about things going on the Costa del Sol. It has been a very busy week with lots of Christmassy things happening but firstly, Hannah started the week by meeting up with Charlotte of Cervinco Wines (@cervincowines), a regular on Hannah’s afternoon show on TRE. They met up at the Hogan Stand in San Pedro and of course enjoyed a bottle of wine and a good chat. Hannah also ordered some wine for Christmas, a bottle of New Zealand white from Marlborough (how do you say it?) and a Christmas blend wine. On Wednesday evening Hannah attended an online trading masterclass with someone she has interviewed about trading called Lewis Compton (@withlewiscompton) Founder of StarTrading Thursday, Hannah had a day off work as she had her first Christmas choir concert with the Del Sol Singers at La Sala (@lasalabanus) raising money for AIM Sanctuary (@aimsanctuary) with a Christmas market, and fashion show by Angel Clothing (@angeldelmarbs) Friday was a bank holiday in Spain and PJ has the DIY bug after the wall painting last week. This time he painted the ceiling in the downstairs toilet and went around the house with a paint brush painting over any marks. Friday evening it was another choir performance at the Harbour Restaurant in Marbella (@the_harbour_marbella) which always goes down very well with diners in probably the most Christmassy venue in Marbella. On Saturday morning PJ woke up with a nasty cold which wiped him out for the rest of the weekend so Hannah had to fly solo. In the evening, we used a Cooldeals (cooldeals.es) voucher for a fish and chip dinner from Harry’s Chip Shop in Nueva Andalucia (@harrysfishandchips_) Sunday Hannah had another choir performance and this time at the stunning village of La Virginia Christmas market in Marbella (@lavirginiamarbella) Sunday evening, Hannah went to Soho Market in Guadalmina (@sohomarketmarbella) in the evening with friends but this time it wasn’t to sing, it was just to eat and drink (and dance!) This weeks Sur in English articles include the forecasted drop in temperatures in Marbella (we can confirm it is true). We talk about the Best Burger competition and the fact that a Malaga chain Gottan Grill (@gottangrill) won the final in Madrid

    New Marbella Restaurants, Portugal and Dinner Parties

    After an unscheduled week off due to illness, Marbella with Him & Her is back and packed with lots of fun activities and adventures. This week we start with a fabulous dinner party with friends Guy and Teresa in Benalmadena. It is a real buzz to get together with new friends and share so many stories!  The day after, we set off for a wedding (a hash wedding) in Quarteira on the Algarve in Portugal. It was an amazing day and night of fun, laughter and meeting new people. Sadly it was cut short due to PJ falling ill. We headed back early and were frustrated by WAZE and its directions!!!! While PJ recovered, on Monday Hannah had rehearsals for a tribute play to June Rendle, who sadly passed away earlier this year and was a much loved member of ITS. Hannah also decided to try out an invitation for EMS training on Tuesday morning with her friend Amy. We also chat about a couple of amazing interviews Hannah did for TRE during the week. One with Esther Adan who is deaf and doing lots for charity work for deaf children. The other was with Tarek, the father of Strictly contestant Tasha who is also deaf and was on Love Island. Tasha's dad lives in Coin on the Costa del Sol and they chatted about the bullying Tasha went through and how she is now an important voice for the deaf community. We also managed to try the new Italian restaurant Babbu in San Pedro which is our most local restaurant, and was a great experience! (@babbutrattroria_es) Finally we chat about the horrific situation in Valencia after the storms and how the amazing communities around the country have rallied to help
