A Place in the Sun: Couple rule out Costa Blanca property On Monday's episode of A Place in the Sun , two hopeful buyers turned down what seemed to be an ideal property due to a single "deal breaker". Jean Johansson , the show's property guru, was on a mission in sunny Costa Blanca, Spain, to assist Sally, a retired midwife, and Phil, a brewery worker, in their quest for the dream home to enjoy their golden years.
