Tasked with finding them the best of what their £80,000 budget can get them is property expert Ben Hillman. He has five impressive properties up his sleeve but will any of them be the perfect place for Lian and Dave? 

About the area

Almeria province is around an hour’s drive from the airport and has remained unspoilt by tourism compared to other parts of the Spanish coast. Here you can find traditional whitewashed villages, and over 120 miles of beautiful beaches and secluded rocky coves. Its landscape is so rugged and mountainous that many Hollywood movies have been filmed here along with spaghetti westerns featuring Clint Eastwood.
