Marbella ’normal’ life, LA fires, and Iznajar

Welcome to episode 44 of your Marbella lifestyle podcast Marbella with Him & Her, with PJ Lopez and Hannah Murray. PJ has worked in digital marketing since 2003 while Hannah is a radio presenter on Talk Radio Europe @talk_radio_europe). They both belong to the amateur theatre group International Theatre Studio(@internationaltheatrestudio) and enjoy busy social lives. Hannah also runs a weekly pub quiz at the Irish pub The Hogan Stand (@thehoganstand) every Thursday.

In this episode Hannah tells us about getting back to the gym and some of the classes she has done this week. She is also delighted to get back to a normal routine after Christmas and met her dad for a brunch on Friday where they tried out the new menu at Pandora in San Pedro (@pandora_cafeteria).

Of course, having caused so much devastation in California we also have a chat about the horrendous wildfires that are ravaging across LA.

Hannah is still on a mission to clear and de-clutter, which was all inspired after an interview she did a few years ago with Ingrid Jansen (@declutterhub).

Both of us have also made a conscious effort with eating less, and healthier, and cutting back on drinking alcohol.

On Saturday we took some clothes back that were Christmas presents and swapped them for some important stuff for Hannah's upcoming trip and tuktuk race across India. When we got back from shopping Hannah and her friend who is also doing the challenge booked the plane tickets for the different legs of the journey.

On Sunday it was Hannah's Dad Bernie's birthday so along with Sheila, we took him on a mystery ride to a beautiful Spanish village about an hour and 20 minutes from San Pedro called Iznájar. After looking around the historic village we went for lunch at a beautiful lakeside chiringuito (@chiringuitoValdearenas)  Sheila ordered a chuleton of beef and it literally looked like a prehistoric animal was delivered. We were all expecting the Flintstones to rock up!!

This week’s Sur in English article was about the MSC Magnifica making Malaga the first port of call on a round the world trip. We also spoke about Richard Gere being in Malaga to see Gypsy, having been invited by Antonio Banderas.
