  • Italian's in Marbella & new spots in San Pedro
    Jun 29 2025

    Welcome to episode 68 of Marbella with Him & Her, and we are pleased to say they are back in the same room together sharing lots of fun things they have been up to during the past week.

    PJ shares details of his UK trip and food mishaps at the airport while Hannah admits to sharing photos in last week’s snippet of her beach day with Aoife and Meadhbh even though she recorded the podcast before she went on the beach day.

    Hannah gives details of her latest concert booking to see JLO in Fuengirola after a venue switch from Malaga. She has rounded up a few friends to go with, meaning she will have a busy week of three concerts!

    Hannah also gives details of the new Parfois that has opened in San Pedro, located next to Primor on the pedestrian street.

    They also remind listeners that they run the English guide to San Pedro @sanpedromarbellaguide and that they did a little video update when they had their date night at Luini Italian restaurant, somewhere they had been wanting to try for ages @luini.cucina.italiana Listen for the mouth-watering details of what they had to eat! After the meal they popped into the Hogan Stand @thehoganstand and bumped into Brona and Cathy who are avid listeners of the podcast. It was great to meet them as they are two lovely girls that used to work in the Hogan Stand.

    It was a busy social weekend as they were out again on Saturday night at La Grappa in Benavista for the Del Sol Singers performance followed by Karen Danzig singing.

    Sunday was a mix of relaxation and gardening. Once the front and back gardens were back in good shape they caught up with some of the previous couple of days of Glastonbury before recording this weeks podcast.

    The Sur in English articles this week include a piece about Antonio Banderas filming a new film about the chef Anthony Bordain who committed suicide back in 2018.

    They also discuss the article about the EasyJet strike, which PJ missed by a day.

    It would not be a complete podcast if they did not also chat about the weather and the new heatwave hitting much of Europe.

    Don't forget to follow Hannah on @radiohannah and PJ on @pjlopez1marbella

    We hope you enjoy this week’s Marbella lifestyle podcast and we look forward to any comments you might have on any of the channels you listen on.

  • 'Marbella with Her = Breakdown!'
    Jun 23 2025

    A slightly different episode this week, as PJ (@pjlopez1marbella) is in the UK, so Hannah (@radiohannah) did the podcast on her own! Although PJ sent an audio update of what he's getting up to in the UK.

    Hannah talked about a fun interview she did on her radio show with 'accidental middle aged influencer' Lou Featherstone (@luinluland) about her Self Love Revolution.

    The morning after PJ left, Hannah was stranded in Estepona with a flat tyre! She was late for her appointment with the beach, but managed to get it all sorted! Her and Amy enjoyed a delicious lunch at Los Espigones, near Puerto Banus.

    Hannah hosted two quizzes this week, the weekly one at The Hogan Stand, and her monthly one at Urban Chai. There were some very excited winners...and not even of the quiz! ;)

    Hannah mentions the list of the 50 Best Restaurants in the World, with Spain being the only country to have 2 in the Top 5!

    There is a new service launched on Marbella beaches, where you can call in advance to book assistance to go for a swim in the sea, if you have reduced mobility. What a great service! This is the number 658 618 333

    She also praised Alan and Jenny Boardman for their tireless work for the community, raising much needed funds for Cudeca (@fundacioncudeca)

  • 'Lark in the Park' in Marbella
    Jun 16 2025

    Welcome to episode 66 of 'Marbella with Him & Her', your weekly Marbella lifestyle podcast talking about the beautiful resort we chose to live in Spain. This week is a packed episode full of the many things we have taken part in and enjoyed since last week's podcast. 'He' is PJ Lopez (@pjlopez1marbella), a digital marketing expert in Marbella and 'Her' is Hannah Murray (@radiohannah), a radio presenter on Talk Radio Europe, and a TV presenter on Good Morning Spain.

    This week we talk about a lovely gathering of friends at the Hogan Stand (@thehoganstand) instigated by JP, who decided he just want to get his friends toegther for some food, fun and laughter.

    Hannah had her epic beach day with a friend on Sunday, which involved a little bit of Sangria and some great food at one of their favourite summer beach venues in San Pedro, Guayaba (@guayababeach).

    Meanwhile PJ went down with a case of shingles and has been on medication for the week. Having spent a few weeks changing eating habits, cutting back on drinking and doing more exercise, he ended up getting shingles! It meant he didn't go to the office or the quiz in case anyone hadn't had chickenpox before.

    Hannah also chats about the lovely Irish goodies that the students currently doing some work experience at the radio station brought over from Dublin.

    This week's TV fliming for Good Morning Spain (@goodmorningspaintv) involved Nikki as she had come over to Marbella for a few days and was staying with Hannah and PJ. They went for breakfast before filming at a great little cafe called Gunayadin.

    Later in the week while PJ was still confined to home, Hannah went to Malaga port to meet up with some of Sheila's family who had stopped at the port on their cruise. They had lunch and champagne at a tapas bar in the port called Toro, A Taste of Spain.

    Notable interviews Hannah did this week on her radio show on TRE (@talk_radio_europe) included Kate Muir about her book 'How To Have A Midlife Crisis' and Anthea Stevens who suffers from Cerebral palsy who has written a book called 'What's Done Can't be Undone'.

    The weekend was very much about the International Theatre Studio's (@internationaltheatrestudio) Lark in the Park. On Sunday, while PJ headed to the park to set up the sound and lights, Hannah took some special time with her dad for father's day by taking him for breakfast to Hustle n Flow in San Pedro (@hustlenfloweatery).

    Later it was what all the rehearsals has all been about. The play for Lark in the Park in Benahavis this year was written by Sheila Mellor, Sandra Mole and Kate Jackson, called The Val Hala Fashion Show. It was a funny tongue in cheek fashion show set in Marbella hosted by presenter one (an Amanda Holden type character) played by Hannah and presenter 2 (a camp and very bitchy man called Graham) played by PJ. After many difficult rehearsals, it all came together on the night with great feedback from the audience.

    The Del Sol Singers choir also performed some songs which had the audience singing and dancing along to, and the evening was topped off by Karen Danzig singing some great tunes and getting everyone up on their feet dancing.

  • Singing in La Sala, & Friends in Madrid
    Jun 8 2025

    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.

  • Marbella bugs and Hannah does DIY
    Jun 1 2025

    Welcome to the latest episode of Marbella with Him & Her, your weekly lifestyle podcast from Marbella brought to you by Hannah Murray (@radiohannah) and PJ Lopez (@pjlopez1marbella), two expats who moved to Marbella in 2003 and live in the beautiful town of San Pedro de Alcantara.

    This week there has been a bit of illness doing the rounds in the area which resulted in lots of cancelled plans. Hannah only made it to one exercise class and didn't meet her father for their weekly brunch as he is now recovering from a nasty bug.

    Earlier in the week Hannah put her DIY skills to the test when she found there was a leaking pipe under the sink. She also went Karcher mad, hosing down the bedroom terrace, the back terrace and the front garden.

    Hannah was also thrilled to have interviewed Simon Tolken who is the grandson of JRR Tolken (author of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings). She really enjoyed chatting to him and it will be included in her TRE Book Show very soon.

    She also chatted to Michael Obiora, who was a child actor in Grange Hill who also had a great role as the receptionist in Hotel Babylon.

    On Friday PJ and Hannah both joined the Friday Frolics group for dinner at Bombay Grill Indian restaurant where they both chose healthier options for a change and refrained from going out afterwards. This is part of PJ making some small lifestyle adjustments after having a random blood pressure test after a recent golf tournament and finding it was higher than it should be. Find out what adjustments have been made and what it has done to his blood pressure within a week.

    Sur in English articles this week they talk about are the speeding up of the building of the first Costco in Malaga and details of the Bar FM in Granada that was featured in the list of the best informal restaurants on the continent for a 4th year in a row.
