Costa Blanca (2x6)

: 18, 2017

In the final episode of the series, Charlie Luxton is on the Costa Blanca exploring the less well-known side of this tourist hotspot. He arrives at the small coastal town of Moraira on one of the handful of fishing boats that still operate out of this traditional port. He then heads to Dénia, where he finds a stylish modern take on an Ibizan-style farmhouse on a rocky hillside. Owned by Belgians Kristina and Johan Dreissen, it's a compromise between their desire for the traditional and their architect's more cutting-edge aspirations. Next stop is Xàbia - one of the smartest towns on the Costa Blanca. After visiting a fascinating building that was constructed for the production of raisins - an industry that brought prosperity to Xàbia - he turns inland to Pedreguer. Hidden down a quiet country lane in a forest of almond trees and orange groves, he discovers a fabulous farmhouse rescued from oblivion by Essex couple Lee and Kerry Francis.
