Football, Feminism, and Beach BBQ's in the Marbella Sun

Welcome to the latest episode of Marbella with Him & Her, your weekly catch up about Marbella presented by Hannah Murray (@radiohannah) and PJ Lopez (@pjlopez1marbella).

It has been another busy week starting just after last week's recording of the podcast with a beach day at Los Espigones in Puerto Banus on the €16 beds that have mattresses for extra comfort (@chiringuito.losespigones). That evening was the final of the women's Euro 25 with England playing Spain. Although Spain had more attacking chances, England managed to take the match to penalties with Chloe Kelly scoring the winning penalty shot after heroics from Hannah Hampton.

Hannah interviewed Karen Dobres about her book Pitch Invasion, which is about her story as a feminist on the board of Lewes football club, who were the first club to pay their women football players the same as the men. She also spoke about their unique co-ownership plan where for £50 a year you can have a vote on the board. She also spoke about her interview with Brian Klein who was the director of 28 seasons of Top Gear. He told a wonderful story about how the name 'Stig' came about.

They also discussed the passing of Sylvia Young who ran the most famous drama school in the UK which saw many of today's presenters and tv celebrities pass through the school. Hannah recalls the fact that she went to the school on a Saturday where she learnt many new talents.

Friday, Hannah went for a catch up lunch with Charlotte at Kala Kalua before a shopping trip to get the food for the epic beach BBQ. They then headed to their favourite Indian restaurant in San Pedro, Bombay Grill (@bombaygrill_sanpedro) for a lovely meal and to take some photos for the San Pedro Guide (@sanpedromarbellaguide).

On Saturday, PJ and Hannah hosted a beach BBQ on the boats you can hire which are literally old wooden boats filled with sand. They made different flavour chicken wings and burgers as well as taking lots of additional food. Over 35 people were at the BBQ which ended up being a fantastic day. Debbie even taught everyone the dance to House of Bamboo, which featured in the cult tv series This City is Ours.

Other topics discussed included the follow up to Bend it like Beckham, the nostalgic TV series Mix Tape, the series Aquarius about Charles Manson, the expensive underground car park in San Pedro and the additional apartments that will add even more traffic to San Pedro roads when they are built, plus Will Smith at Starlite Marbella.

Sur in English articles this week include one about three of the most expensive motorway tolls being in Malaga.
