Ricky Lavazza on stage in the Moonlight Theatre
This Friday the 16th March 2012, we’ve got a very special event in the Moonlight Theatre: Ricky Lavazza – and special guest artists – will be performing his fabulous tribute show in aid of a very special cause: The Tomas Leighton Care Charity.
Tomas was born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. He was also born blind. All proceeds raised at the event this Friday will go towards helping 7 year old Tomas get the much needed specialist medical care he needs now and for his future. If you’d like to read more about the Tomas Leighton Care Charity, please visit their website www.tlc-charity.com .
Tickets are just €10 for adults and €5 for children and you’ll be entered into the raffle which will be held during the show – there are some great prizes to be won! Ricky Lavazza will be performing his highly rated show with tributes to some of the all time greats, including: Michael Bublé, Tom Jones, Robbie Williams and the one-and-only Elvis!
We look forward to welcoming you down to Sunset Beach Club’s Moonlight Theatre on Friday evening for a great night of entertainment, but more importantly, to help us raise funds for young Tomas.

St. Patrick’s day is just around the corner and Benalmadena is gearing itself up for a great day of celebrations!
The Irish Association of Spain has organised a fantastic day to commemorate this popular festivity. It’s important to note that this year, the traditional mass has been changed to the Virgen del Carmen church in Benalmádena and will begin at 1pm.
After mass, the traditional parade will head down to the Feria ground behind Paloma Park for an afternoon of singing, dancing, drinking and all-round fun! From 2:15pm to 5:30pm you’ll be treated to a whole host of acts including Irish musicians and dance groups brought over from Ireland especially for the occasion (more…)

An image of the Holy Shroud...
A new exhibition featuring the Holy Shroud was opened to the public in Malaga on Thursday 23rd February. This was in fact the world debut of this fascinating exhibition which locals and visitors to Malaga will be able to see until mid June – after this date it will relocate to other cities in Europe and the Americas.
As we approach the Easter celebrations, this exhibition will undoubtedly become a major highlight for tourists who flock to the Costa del Sol’s capital for its popular Easter processions. This is actually the first time that the Holy Shroud – one of the most studied religious artefacts in history – receives its own featured exhibition. (more…)

Tomorrow (28th February) is Andalucia Day or “ Día de Andalucia”. Apart from being a public holiday in all of the Andalusian region – shops and businesses will be closed – Andalucia Day is a special day… It commemorates the February 28th, 1980 referendum on the Statute of the Autonomy of Andalucia in which the Andalucian people voted to make Andalucia an autonomous community of Spain.
If you are walking through the streets of any Andalucian town or city, don’t be surprised if you see green and white flags decorating the balconies of many buildings; it’s also common for various cultural competitions to be held in conjunction with this special day on the Andalucian calendar.
Here are a couple of suggestions on ways to spend Andalucia Day:
1) The Thyssen Museum in Málaga is offering free entrance to all visitors tomorrow the 28th February. If you haven’t been, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Take the train or bus into the centre of Málaga, visit the museum and then take a stroll through the streets of the old town – don’t forget to stop in at one of the many bars for some traditional tapas! You might also want to take a walk along the impressive new waterfront area called ‘Muelle Uno’; definitely worth a visit!
2) Option two is a little closer to home. The beach bars (chiringuitos) and restaurants in theSanta AnaBeacharea – near the windmill – is celebrating the ‘II Feria del Pescaito’. This basically means that you can dig into some fantastic fish dishes at unbeatable prices. Typical fried fish dishes such as Calamares or Boquerones will be available for just €4.5 per plate and shell fish dishes will be priced at €7 per plate – we’re basically talking half price here! If the weather stays as it has been for the past few days, you’d be mad not to take advantage of this great offer… Enjoy a leisurely stroll down the promenade and treat yourself to some of the best fish on the Coast 🙂
