Singing in La Sala, & Friends in Madrid

Welcome to Marbella with Him & Her, your weekly Marbella podcast that talks about our lives in Marbella and other things going on throughout the week. Hannah is a radio presenter on Talk Radio Europe as well as a TV contributor on Good Morning Spain. She also runs a weekly quiz at The Hogan Stand Irish Pub in San Pedro. PJ is a digital marketing specialist working with many top real estate agents and developers on the coast. They are both keen amateur actors belonging to the International Theatre Studio where PJ is also the vice president.

Their Marbella podcast covers the many things they get up to during the week as well as interesting information and chats about articles in the Sur in English, restaurants, beach clubs and trips they have embarked upon.

This week we start with the choir that Hannah belongs to called ‘The Del Sol Singers’ and their first gig of the season at La Sala in Puerto Banus (@lasalabanus). It was a charity event in aid of a very worthy cause, The Sienna Elizabeth Rose Legacy, which supports families that have had babies born 'asleep'. Needless to say, there was not a dry eye in the house (both the audience and the choir).

On Friday, Hannah and PJ hit the road at 8.30 am for a major road trip to Madrid to go to the 'Friends Experience', which is essentially a full re-creation of the entire set from Joey and Chandler's flat to Central Perk. It was an incredible experience so check out the podcast for all the details.

They stayed about 2 hours south of Madrid in a place called Ciudad Real, where the famous Manchego cheese originates. Hear their thoughts on the city and the food!

PJ has been whipping up some more interesting salads and hear about his Guinness milkshake.

Sur in English articles this week include a chat about a fungus that is affecting vineyards across Malaga and beyond. They also chat about Spain having some of the best pizza restaurants outside of Italy. Hannah was also very excited to see that Mijas is getting some tuktuks to replace the cruel use of donkeys to trandsport tourists. In fact, she is even considering volunteering to drive it. Talking of tuktuks Hannah was also thrilled to see that last weeks episode of Race Across The World ended the leg in Goa and in the Grand Hyatt Hotel where she and Nikki stayed for a couple of days after their Indian adventure.
