Appearance on BBC’s Living in the Sun

If you haven’t seen it, BBC Television’s ‘Living in the Sun’ is a series of programs about people who decide to give up the delights of Britain’s fickle weather and relocate to sunnier climes. Some of the adventures end in tears, while others show that things can work out OK if luck is on your side - and if you work hard.

The BBC became interested in Casa en el Campo - and Karen and Jeff’s dream of converting it from a building site (left) to the beautiful villa it is today.


A TV crew were sent to document their efforts to bring, as the reporter eloquently put it, “boutique, hotel-style glamour to the heart of rural Spain”. The pictures on this page are stills from the program, which you can watch on DVD when you visit Casa en el Campo.


The TV program shows the phenomenal amount of hard work invested in the project, along with the more pleasant jobs such as buying accessories (top right) for the rooms and communal areas. The program also shows the nervous build-up to the arrival of the first guests.

Finally, you will see a launch party for those local businesses that helped to get the venture up and running - with Jeff (above-right) giving a heartfelt speech of thanks.
