The couple has found an olive mill in Comares, Spain. Amsterdammers want to start a child-friendly boutique hotel with six luxury suites and a restaurant. The olive mill still needs to be renovated. Marc knows better than anyone what goes wrong with emigrating and renovating, but that doesn’t stop him from pursuing his dream.
You might expect that with this foreknowledge Marc and Madelon have a considerable lead over the other candidates of I leave, but that turns out to be disappointing in practice.

That the entire rambam has to be rebuilt, while the couple has no money at all. That is why Marc and Madelon borrow 180,000 euros from friends, but is that enough to start the adventure successfully? After all, you have to be well prepared. In good spirits, the couple starts their Spanish adventure, but soon the couple runs into the standard problems that you see in an average episode of I leave.
The building permit has not yet been applied for, the estimated costs will not be calculated until later, the quotation turns out to be twice as high as expected and deadlines are not met. The enthusiasm with which the couple starts is ultimately only short-lived. Especially when they are cheated by their contractor, their buffer is used up in no time and they are forced to return to the Netherlands. Enough food for the viewers of the program to tweet about.
