Marbella Galas to Goalkeeping

Welcome to the latest episode of Marbella with Him & Her, the podcast hosted by Talk Radio Europe and Good Morning Spain presenter Hannah Murray and her husband PJ Lopez who together are Him & Her. Having lived in Spain for over 20 years they bring you lots of great tips and information about Marbella, their busy social lives on the Costa del Sol (and sometimes beyond), and reviews of some of the latest places they have visited and eaten at.

This episode starts with their amazing evening at the World Vision Gala charity event at the stunning Puente Romano tennis club, part of the five-star Puente Romano Resort (@puenteromanoresort), which saw hundreds of people come together for a gala evening in aid of the World Vision charity (@worldvision). Listen to find out more about the incredible food that was served and the entertainment that was provided by the Gypsies, a spinoff of the original Gypsy Kings and N-Trance, the chart topping 90s dance group (@ntranceoffical).

Their week was also filled with lots of new exercise experiences starting with a invitational session at Boot Camp Pilates in Estepona (@bootcamp_pilates_espana) which was called HIIP (High Intensity Interval Pilates). Later that week they both headed to the Supera gym for an early morning workout.

Hannah's interviews on the radio included the inspiring story by author Jennifer Pastioff called Proof of Life. It is a story that starts with tragedy and ends with some inspiring life changing decisions. She also interviewed James Court who has written a book about the legend Jimi Hendrix who was sadly one of the famous 27 club. The book is called Castles in the Sand and contains some amazing insights into his career.

Their incredibly busy week continued with PJ heading off on Saturday morning to play football for the first time in many years. He joined up with the Benahavis walking football team for their Saturday morning training session, having gone out and purchased a brand new pair of goalkeeper gloves. Listen to see how he got on!

While PJ was diving all over the football pitch, Hannah had already headed off to the pool with friends Aoife and Meadhbh at their complex for a sun and pool day. By the time PJ arrived after training the girls were already into their 2nd bottle of wine. After lunch they ended up back at Hannah and PJ's for some late night Karaoke and pizza.

Sunday was their annual beach day with friends Jamie and Beverley. They headed off at 10am via Tricky Rickys for a bacon sandwich before their mystery beach tour. They ended up at the bay just before Sotogrande at the chiringuito Il Sono (@ilsono_beachbar). They had taken with them a huge rubber dinghy that had been given to them by friends Bill and Karen, as well as the paddleboard they had purchased last year. Hear about their paella, sardines, renting out their equipment and frolics in the sea!

Sur in English articles this week included details of where 6 out of the top 10 most expensive addresses in Spain are, 7 things to do in Frigiliana and how Trump's tariffs have affected exports. They also talk about an article about Maria Bravo and 'appreciating paradise'.
