Family Rutten Leaves Polopos Behind and Embarks on a New Chapter

A Fresh Beginning for the Rutten Family in Spain

Taking bold risks is nothing new for the Rutten family. After their adventure in the village of Polopos—followed on the program “Daar Gaan Ze Weer”—they have packed their bags and moved to a new part of Spain. Their journey under the Spanish sun continues, and their story is far from over.

Now, the Rutten family lives in a new home where Demi proudly gives an extensive tour and shares their plans for the future.

Moving Forward: Leaving Polopos Behind

The past months have been anything but quiet for the family. In their new home, they've already done a lot of work and decorating, even though progress was temporarily slowed by an accident—Elisa, one of the familiar faces from the show, broke her arm. Despite this setback, the vibe at home stays positive and the family keeps looking ahead. In a video, Demi enthusiastically shows off their new house—a spacious, light-filled place that radiates a sense of new beginnings.

Demi Finds Her Groove in Hospitality

For those who thought Demi would slow down after closing their previous business, think again! She has found a job as a manager in a restaurant. With her hospitality experience and determination, she’s become a valuable asset in the workplace. The Spanish hospitality industry suits her well, and she’s determined to continue growing here. The new location brings her peace and inspiration to pursue her dreams—working in a team, welcoming guests, and hatching new plans fits her perfectly.

Reflecting on Their Time in Polopos

The TV show “Daar Gaan Ze Weer” showed how Demi and Elisa, full of enthusiasm, started their own bar in Polopos. Their leap into the unknown paid off as their bar quickly became a success, attracting a lot of visitors. However, maintaining it all in the long run proved too demanding—the pressure, responsibility, and family life became too much to juggle. That’s why they closed the bar and set their sights elsewhere. Leaving Polopos felt like the end of a chapter, but not of their Spanish dream.

Embracing Change: A Place That Feels Like Home

Moving to another region of Spain not only meant a new house but also a new environment and new people. The Rutten family feels welcome in their new place, motivated to start something new all over again. For Demi, that means working hard in hospitality but also planning for something truly her own—her dream of running her own business isn’t gone. The idea of opening a bar or eatery again keeps calling her, though this time she wants to do it with more calm, experience, and balance. Together with Elisa, she’s thinking about the best way to juggle work and private life.

Looking Ahead With Optimism

No matter what’s crossed their path in the past, the Rutten family remains a shining example of perseverance. They never let setbacks get them down and keep choosing to shape their lives their way. The moving boxes are unpacked, plans are ready, and life in Spain is slowly gaining structure again. With courage and energy, Demi and Elisa continue to build their dream.
