Buyers on today's A Place in the Sun made a rare admission.
Property expert Ben Hillman helped Sue and Ali to look for their new dream home on the Channel 4 show. They were relocating from Weston-super-Mare to the whitewashed villages of Almeria.
With a budget of £70,000, the couple hoped to purchase a home with a minimum of two bedrooms decorated in a modern style. They were looking for an inland property that was preferably detached. They also wanted a decent amount of land for their dog, Leo, to enjoy.

Ben was taken aback as the couple made a rare admission - something mostly unheard of on the show. When running through the couple's preferences, Ben asked: "Inland or by the coast? What's your preference?"
The couple both echoed each other as they said: "Inland." Ben looked shocked as he asked: "Inland? Oh we don't hear that at all that often!"
The couple explained their choice as Sue said: "We don't do the beach." Ali added: "We don't like the seaside."
As Ben searched for the perfect house, the couple didn't seem overly impressed. Properties that he showed them included one with an external shower room, meaning they would have to go outside to get clean.
Another property had a pool - but it would require some work as it was currently an irrigation pool. Ben advised that it could be converted for around £1,000. Ben was feeling a bit exasperated as he said that finding the couple a home was a bit like "trying to fit a square peg in a round hole."
