Introducing the show Piers Morgan described Marbella as place where the resident’s total wealth exceeds that of most South American countries. Possibly an exaggeration but a clear indicator of the side of Marbella the show was about to explore.
Less Costa del Crime and more Costa hell of a lot Marbella is stuffed with million pound villas, overflowing with luxury boats, oozing with flash cars and has more than a few resident billionaires to go with them.
Morgan kicked the show off with a drive down the Golden Mile, taking in the Marbella Club a famous resort that first attracted the rich and famous to Marbella back in the fifties. Next up on the stretch was the Mosque built by Saudia Arabian King Fahd as a gift to the locals followed shortly by the Saudia Royal summer home often referred to as the White House.

Back in August we reported about a dog from the Costa del Sol which turned up in a Taunton car park. Well we recently found a similar case about a dog from Buckinghamshire which turned up on the Costa del Sol in Marbella.

A local man found the dog but was unable to locate the owner so instead reported it to the local newspaper, the Buckinghamshire Advertiser, a local estate agent read the article and got in touch with the owners daughter who was able to contact her mother who was then able to collect the dog.

If tourism picks up it will certainly have a positive effect on the local property market.
