John Thomson narrates as the documentary following Brits who moved to Spain returns, this time focusing on the resort of Benidorm on the Costa Blanca. Drag queen Mark, aka Ruby Rox, prepares to return to the stage for the first time since the pandemic hit, while new arrival Terry gets ready for the opening of his barber's.

Dave has just four weeks to complete the refurbishment of his bar, but he has a mountain to climb to get everything finished so he can open on time. Lorraine has taken over a local beauty salon and in an effort to attract new clients she decides to put on a spectacular hair and beauty show, while local musician Mykal performs a new song that he has written.

In this week's episode, we join drag queen and horse lover Colin ‘Coco' Brown. He's moved in with his Spanish boyfriend Sebastian and decided to use the land around their house to build his own horse rescue centre. 

We meet Yorkshire couple Carol and Wacka, who retired and bought a caravan in Benidorm. Carol's decided to try and get herself a part-time job, and has a trial day at a bar across the road from where they live.

In this week's episode, we meet recent arrivals on the Costa Blanca Tony and Linda. They want to make their new home their perfect home, and are planning a major renovation of their caravan. Also working hard is Liverpool lad Robbie. He has sunk his life savings into buying a bar in Benidorm. Every day the bar is shuttered, it's costing Robbie and eating into those savings. Finally, we meet Stephanie Quinn aka Rocking Stephanie. Stephanie is an entertainer from Scotland who's come to Benidorm to perform as a rock act. 

Samantha and Richard revamp a dilapidated garden centre, which they plan to use any profits from to fund their dog rescue charity, but they need to fix the roof, stock the charity shop and organise a grand opening. Chris and Claire are hoping to get bookings as a two-person Grease tribute act, but in the meantime they need to make ends meet, which they do by painting and decorating.

Best friends Bambi Dhami and Johnny Weatherby return to Costa Del Sol to find knick nacks to decorate the caravans that Bambi now sells in her new home.

The programme catches up with Jojo Love as she pursues success with her new shoe shop, which she runs from her garage and takes on the road to a busy market in a mountain town just above Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol. Meanwhile, Susie and Reg are raising money at a classic car rally to rebuild their dog rescue centre, which burnt down during the summer wildfires.

The programme meets a man who runs the Costa del Sol's longest established British fish and chip shop as he uses his day off to set up a stall at a local Sunday market.
