Inland Cadiz, Spain - A Place in the Sun

Inland Cadiz, Spain Danni Menzies

Sisters Lynne and Samantha enjoyed many happy childhood holidays together in Spain and now share the same dream of jointly buying a property for their families to build similar fond memories. They’ve chosen the beautiful countryside of inland Cadiz as the perfect place to be, and have asked Danni Menzies to help them find a village house with two bedrooms and plenty of outside space. After scouring the market, Danni has lined up five terrific options for their £60,000 budget, but will Lynne and Samantha love any enough to put in an offer?
