La Sala by the Sea in Marbella, and fires in southern Spain

They are back with the latest episode of Marbella with Him & Her. For newcomers to the Marbella podcast, they are PJ Lopez (@pjlopez1marbella) and Hannah Murray (@radiohannah) and each week they record a podcast about their lives in San Pedro de Alcantara and Marbella. From things they have done, eaten, seen, heard and discussed, it is an eclectic mix of ‘husband and wife’ banter, important information and general life experiences.

This week they start with their BBQ on which they cooked a fish they had never eaten before called Pez Limon. Listen to see what they did with it and what they thought of it. On Sunday they headed to the famous La Sala by Sea beach club in Puerto Banus for a day relaxing around the pool, drinking wine and eating fabulous food. They share their experience and interesting observations!

Hannah always shares some highlights of some memorable or poignant interviews that she did on Talk Radio Europe during the week. This week’s include a chat with Neal Toplis of Funeral Care Spain. There is some very important information about what to do if someone passes away in Spain and sadly the people that are ready to take advantage of the vulnerable situation many find themselves in. Listen for some essential tips on what to do and what not to do if you ever find yourself in this situation.

Another chat Hannah had was with her regular contributors Be Spain Savvy. This time they spoke about being able to pass off the things that might annoy you in Spain as being just a part of the culture which is different to what you might be used to. Some of the interviews Hannah did for her book show included one with Mark Billingham who is an award-winning crime author who was awarded the Diamond Dagger in January 2026. It is about a real-life situation that happened to him and his wife while out walking their dog. It became the start of his most recent book, although it had a very different outcome the actual event.

Hannah also interviewed an inspirational 97 year old woman called Cynthia Schumacher who had just published her debut short story collection. She also interviewd another best-selling author Cecelia Ahern about her first Children's book.

They give an update on the opening of The Art Bakery San Pedro. They also mention some of the other breakfast items on the menu and the prices.

PJ and Hannah talk about many different subjects which are mostly light-hearted and fun, but a segment in this week's podcast was about the number of high-profile deaths there had been during the week, plus they send their condolences to the family and friends of the poor your Norwegian girl that was killed in a hit and run accident in La Cala de Mijas. In addition, they give out some obvious advice to young girls that might be partying while on holiday.

There is an update about the wildfires that have ravaged parts of Estepona and Almeria and an app that ALL residents and tourists should download during the summer season so they receive alerts if there is a wildfire in their immediate vicinity.

There are also more updates about their week including watching the Spain game in the fan zone in San Pedro before heading to the Hogan Stand for the second half, their friend Aoife's birthday at the Hogan Stand, and watching the England game at The Hogan Stand.

This week's articles they discuss from their collaborators The Euro Weekly News include the huge number of people in Spain that are victims of cybercrime, plus the dangers of children at the swimming pool and how parents MUST make sure they are always paying attention.
