Dutch Tapas in Marbella, More Marbella Coffee Culture & Hannah's Butlins Adventure

Welcome to episode 99 of the number one podcast in Marbella (as far as we are concerned) Marbella with Him & Her. It is a lifestyle podcast presented by husband and wife duo PJ Lopez and Hannah Murray bringing you some expat married banter along with some great recommendations, their social activities and selected news from their collaborators the Euro Weekly News!

This week they start with the horrendous weather front that has been battering the Costa del Sol during the week. Torrential rain and extremely high winds left flooding, felled trees and property damage across the region. Find out how Hannah got on driving in the awful conditions.

They also get serious and talk about the terrible tragedy of that left local resident Victoria Hart dead at the hands of her husband as a result of domestic abuse. They discuss who to call if you are in that situation and how difficult it is to report threats until something physical actually happens, by which time it is often too late. They also talk about the go fund me group set up to assist her three children after the loss of their mother.

One of the interview highlights for Hannah during the week was with actor (and now author) Melvyn Hayes, who some of you might remember from It Ain't Half Hot Mum and Summer Holiday with Cliff Richard. Hannah shares some great stories he told about both and the fact that he has written his first book aged 91.

PJ and Hannah also discuss their changing taste buds and the types of food they hated as kids and now love.

This weeks episode does not include Hannah all the way through as she was in the UK at Butlins with a group of girlfriends for an 80's weekender. She will have all the gossip and antics next week!

PJ was left to cover the Thursday quiz at the sponsors The Hogan Stand, which seemed to go quite well. He also went out for coffee with friends Aoife and Meadhbh to Pandora in San Pedro (@pandorarestolunch). Find out how the coffee prices compare to some of the new speciality coffee houses.

Saturday night PJ went out with a friend from work Joshua to the new La Kasita Tapas y Mas Dutch tapas bar opposite the 24hr pharmacy in San Pedro. Listen to find out what delicious food they had and how much it was.

This weeks Euro Weekly News articles include how one in five people dispute the moon landings. They also discuss the Stanley Kubrick documentary in which he said he was asked to fake it. They talk about the return of Europe's largest winter equestrian event, the Andalucia Sunshine Tour. Another article they discuss is the special day that ADANA have on Valentines Day called Fall In Love, Save A Life, which will be a big dog walk from Sabinillas to Duquesa Port.

Make sure you listen to next weeks podcast as it will be the 100th episode of Marbella with Him and her.
