Xabier (Xabi) chose Benidorm because he was there the happiest of his whole life when he met his one true love María Miranda during a trip years ago.
During his search for María he stays in Hotel Benidorm but because he is sad because of his illness and he does not seem to find María. In the bar of the hotel, he drunkenly tells his story to Tony, a stranger. Tony is shocked when Xabi confesses that he has saved three million euros. Tony decides to use his girlfriend and stripper Candy to play the part of Maria. Because if the two of them manage to convince Xabi that Candy is actually Maria, then they are instantly rich because of Xabi's legacy.
