Presented by Aled Jones
For some Autumn sunshine Aled Jones heads to Spain's Costa del Sol to meet some Brits who've chosen to live there - including an actress who appeared in Eldorado, an artist who hoped to find the good life and former chartopper Yazz who talks about her faith and teams up with Aled to perform Van Morrison's Whenever God Shines His Light. There's also some foot-tapping hymns led by Graham Kendrick and his band and sung by expats and local people in the sunshine at Fuengirola Castle including O When the Saints, Teach me To Dance and Shine Jesus Shine.
Milton Johanides
Milton decided to open a gallery for artists living on the coast in Fuengirola and moved to Spain with his wife and children in 2002. Milton's art gallery has also become a community based project and now runs adult art classes, poetry evenings and quiz nights.

Yasmin de Fernandez (Yazz)
Yazz found fame in the 80's with songs like "Fine Time", "The Only Way Is Up", and "Stand Up for Your Love Rights". The fame and fortune was not what Yazz was looking for, she felt very unhappy and alone. After a divine encounter whilst reading through a bible at her mother's house, she began on her journey in becoming a Christian. In 1997 Yazz went to Spain on a holiday and met Enrique. She moved to Spain with her family and is now involved in the worship group at her church.
Yazz has released her first Christian album "Running Back to You".

Lindy Jordan
Lindy moved to Spain 21 years ago with her terminally ill husband. He had always loved Spain and wanted to end his days there. When her husband died, Lindy felt it was right to stay. She worked hard to integrate into the community and within 2 years was speaking fluent Spanish. She now spends her time working towards becoming a deacon, teaching Spanish to English people and helping anyone who needs it.
