by Justin | Feb 17, 2012 | On the Costa del Sol, What's On
This coming Sunday (19th February 2012) sees the start of the new season of races at the Costa del Sol Racecourse. This opening day of races kicks off at 11:00am on Sunday morning; it’ll be a busy day on the turf as 65 horses participate in the 5 programmed races.
This new winter/spring season of racing will include five days of competition; this is the calendar of events:
19th February – Races start at 11:00am
26th February – Races start at 11:00am
4th March – Races start at 11:00am
6th April – Races start at 11:00am
13th April – Races start at 4:00pm
We must highlight the race that will be held on the 4th March, The Mijas Cup. This is one of the most important races held on turf and the one with the most prize money – of those that are run in Spain. The winning horse will take home an impressive €43.000 prize; that explains why some of the most important stables from all over the world will be participating 🙂
Horse racing fans who visit the Costa del Sol Racecourse this season will be able to enjoy a wider selection of leisure and entertainment services, complementary to the actual races. The restaurants and other food and beverage outlets have also been renovated for the new season.
Pricing for the racing this season is €5 per person, with children under 18 and seniors able to access the racecourse for free.

David Benito – or Sr. Benito as we all call him – has been heading our Reservations Department for 25 years. He has been an integral part of the team that has seen Sunset Beach Club grow into one of the most successful and highly regarded hotels on the Costa del Sol. However, all good things come to an end and it is now time for Sr. Benito to retire and enjoy a well earned break from the day to day “madness” of our reservations department.
We’d like to take this opportunity to wish Sr. Benito the very best for the future. We’re also delighted to inform you that Armando Martinez, who has been our Reception Manager and Reservations assistant for the past 9 years, will now take up Sr. Benito’s role.
In turn, Silvia Bellido, who has worked on our reception desk for the last 15 years, has been promoted to the position of Deputy Reception Manager.
Those of you who are regular visitors to Sunset Beach Club will, no doubt, already know Armando and Silvia; we are sure you will join us in congratulating them both on their promotions and wish them the best of luck in their new roles.
If any of you wish to contact our Reservations Department, the email address remains the same: booking@sunsetbeachclub.com
