Popular Costa del Sol radio presenter Selina MacKenzie launched Not Just a Marbella Girl three months ago as a free Facebook community for women living in Marbella and surrounding areas, and has been taken aback by its success.

Membership has already reached well over 1,700, reflecting how much interest and need there was for these authentic social connections beyond typical expat scenes.

Selina MacKenzie hosts The Lifestyles Show on Talk Radio Europe and has lived on the Costa del Sol for many years. Before moving to Spain she pursued acting and modelling in the UK while running two businesses. Her experience in media and community building is now driving this new initiative for women seeking genuine bonds.
