When Brits leave the UK rat race behind for a new start in Spain they dream of sunshine and beautiful beaches.    But what happens when your dream life in the sun turns sour and you end up living next door to a nightmare neighbour – abroad?

Three disputes between people whose houses border each other in Spain, including a couple whose dreams of a new life abroad were left in tatters after a campaign of vandalism and abuse, sparked by building a private terrace.    Elsewhere, a woman who built an animal sanctuary discovers that local hunters use her land, but her decision to revoke their permission sparked an horrific turn of events.

Illona Mitchell dreamed of selling up in the United Kingdom and running an animal sanctuary in the heart of Spain – caring for dogs and horses.    But when she found herself living in the middle of ancestral hunting land and tried to stop the hunters, she sparked an horrific turn of events which culminated in bloodshed and devastation.

When retiree, John Dobinson, decided to embark on a new adventure on the Spanish coast he never anticipated his dream life would end in tatters after a campaign of vandalism and abuse.

English teacher, Jenny Tanton, and her husband travelled the world before deciding to settle in a rural village in Spain close to the mountains and the beach.    But, it wasn't long before their idyll was destroyed when their neighbour opened a rubbish dump on their doorstep.
