Welcome to the latest episode of Marbella with Him & Her, a weekly podcast about life in Marbella brought to you by expat couple PJ Lopez @pjlopez1marbella and Hannah Murray @radiohannah This week they start with something they forgot to do last week by thanking their friend Evelyn for locating an actual vanilla pod!

They also share details of a post PJ made during the week about long-term rental prices in the area which received a lot of comments. Most people were equally upset at the ever increasing rental rates and it seems the increases have even reached as far as Alicante and even Northern Spain. During the week PJ went out for food with some colleagues as one of his friends was heading back to the Netherlands to complete his studies. So of course they ate at Remy. Listen to find out what they ate and how much it was. Saturday night they were out celebrating their friends Meadhbh's birthday at Luini in San Pedro.
