St Ives vs Spain- Episode 12 on June 15th 2015 - A Place in the Sun

Andy and Gaynor Jones have inherited enough money to buy a holiday home for their family. They’re torn between St Ives in Cornwall – Andy’s choice, as he hates flying – or around the Costa Del Azahar in Spain, where Gaynor spent happy days as an au pair in her youth. Jasmine Harman and Laura Hamilton show them what they could buy in each place.
