Flames engulfed the entire building which ultimately destroyed everything inside.

Olivia's is located at La Cala de Mijas near Fuengirola in southern Spain

Speaking as he left Oliva’s La Cala near the seafront at popular expat and holiday area La Cala de Mijas near Fuengirola, he said: “We don’t yet know why it’s been burnt down.

“The awful thing is that it’s happened three weeks before we were due to start earning money after a hard two years.

“But you know, it’s one of those things and I won’t be beaten. I’ve built it before and I’m going to rebuild it better.”

Elliott has promised to rebuild his restaurant even better than before just weeks after losing his dad Eddie to CovidHe added: “There’s no problems with anyone locally. I’ve got no enemies. We’ve only ever had good support.

“It might be just one of those unfortunate things.

“I just wish it had happened in November and not three weeks before we were going to start making money, because then I would have had time to rebuild it and I wouldn’t have lost part of the summer.

“But it can’t be helped. It is what it is. I’ve got no idea at the moment how much it will cost to put it right again and how much damage there is.”
