Pueblos Blancos, Ben Hillman

Property expert Ben Hillman heads to the white-washed villages of Andalusian Southern Spain to help Sally and her friend Tarik find the perfect holiday home. Professional dog-sitter Sally first fell in love with Spain as a child and now that she’s finally in a position to buy, she’s invited her best friend of 20 years Tarik for moral support. Ben has five fantastic properties to show them for their budget of £65,000 but will any of them be the perfect place for Sally?

About the area

Situated on the southern coast of Spain, flights from the UK to Malaga airport take just under three hours. Less than an hour’s drive will take you to some of the many Pueblos Blancos which can be found nestled between the Sierra Nevada mountain range and the sea. The beaches here are far less crowded than some of the more famous resorts further along the coast and it’s become a very popular destination with holiday makers wishing to enjoy a more traditional Spanish holiday and soak up that sun, sea, and sand.
