Channel 4 A Place in the Sun fans baffled as buyers shown round unusual location

A Place in the Sun fans were baffled as Jasmine Harman took the buyers to an unusual location on today's show.

Debbie and Steve had been visiting Costa de Antigua in Fuerteventura yearly for the past decade and decided that they wanted their own little slice of paradise there. Offering a budget of £80,000 the couple enlisted host Jasmine to help them find the perfect property.

They hoped for a modern, two-bedroom home. They also wanted a terrace, a pool and ideally a sea view.

In between showing Debbie and Steve some homes, Jasmine made a stop off at a bit of a bizarre location. She took them to see the local salt flats - a place where salt is mined and was only five minutes away from one of the properties.

Debbie was excited as she called the attraction "impressive". Steve added that it was "fantastic".

It costs tourists £5 per person to visit but it includes a museum and a shop on site. Jasmine asked the buyers about their grandkids - a 17-month-old and a one-week old.

She said: "Once the grandkids are a little bit older, do you think they might like to come and visit?" Debbie said: "Yeah, they would love it."

But fans on Twitter disagreed as they became a little "salty" at the unusual day out. Shrimpsy said: "People actually pau £5 each to go see salt? #aplaceinthesun."

Peter said: "#aplaceinthesun Yeah, kids will love a salt tour.....NOT!!!!!!!!!" Sarcastically, Fi said: "Yeah, most people I know take their toddlers to see the salt flats museum - they really love it! #aplaceinthesun."
