Alan Carr Amanda Holden Spanish Townhouse Renovation Spurs Tourism, Charity Donations

Alan Carr and Amanda Holden renovated a neglected three-storey Andalucían-style townhouse in the village of Moclín, Granada, previously empty for 35 years and once a family home and local shop. The restoration, featured on BBC One's Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job, transformed the property into Casa Alamanda Moclín, a stylish holiday rental with three themed bedrooms, including a Moroccan-inspired room, and amenities such as a games room, bar, and rooftop terrace with village and mountain views. Since its opening for bookings in late September 2025, the property has attracted significant attention, with visitors drawn to both the house and the revitalized village, which has seen increased tourism and local business activity. The renovation highlights broader issues of rural depopulation in Andalucia, where younger residents have moved to cities for work, leaving many homes abandoned. Following the show's broadcast, the village has become a cultural hub hosting multiple fiestas and offering outdoor activities, making it an appealing destination for travelers. Casa Alamanda remains unchanged from its TV show appearance and is managed by the same estate agents involved in its original sale and rental.
