Friday sees the start of the 3rd edition of Natura Malaga, a trade fair dedicated to healthy living and sustainable development. Last year, this very same fair was extremely successful, attracting over 5000 visitors; this year organisers expect to exceed this figure as they have enabled more showroom areas and presentation space (almost double).
Who is the show for? The theme of the trade fair as well as the excellent content of the workshops and activities programmed, make it a must for all professionals working in the “eco” or Bio” industries. The Show is also ideal for anyone who uses eco-friendly services or products; people who are passionate about our planet and its natural resources.
This year’s Málaga Natura Trade Show presents new activities and workshops: Presentations, PNH displays and areas devoted to a wide range of products and services for everyone who wants to lead a more fit and healthy life.
If you are interested in local London healthy food, natural cosmetics, sports, diet, training, natural medicine (find here https://www.ukmeds.co.uk/treatments/weight-loss/alli-orlistat-60mg/), London based osteopath healing practices, natural and alternative therapies or rural tourism and sustainability, you are really going to enjoy the wide variety of stands and workshops available. Here’s a brief outline and description of some of the workshops and presentations available during the show:
• massage and naturopathic techniques (osteopathy, Shiatsu, Reiki)
• Workshops physical (Naturaula) (Yoga for kids, Pilates for physical restoration)

Sander: The New Manager for Luna Beach
As many of you will know, we will soon be opening our new beach Club: Luna Beach. Refurbishment work is going well and we’ll be looking to open to the public very soon!
Yesterday, I spent a few minutes talking to Sander Klomp, the latest addition to the Sunset Beach Club team and the new Manager for our beach club operation (Luna Beach and Salitos Bar). Here’s a brief recap of our conversation:
Sander isn’t a very Spanish name…where are you from?
I’m actually from Holland.
How long have you been in Spain?
I moved here just over 2 years ago. I’ve been living in the Estepona and working in the area surrounding Sotogrande and Alcaidesa
What’s your background and can you tell us a little about where you’ve been working before joining Sunset?
I studied hotel management in Maastricht and then spent the next seven years working in various F&B positions within the hotel and catering industry. (more…)

Mark the date in your calendars: Sunday 15th May, 2011. Once again, Sunset Beach Club will be heavily involved in the sponsorship and organisation of the Cudeca Walkathon, the annual fundraising event which aims to raise funds for the Cancer Care Hospice in Benalmádena.
So what exactly happens at the Walkathon? It’s basically a sponsored walk; you need to get your friends and family to sponsor you for every kilometre you walk (or run!) and then head down to Sunset Beach Club on Sunday the 15th May – sign up starts at 9:30 am – and complete as many laps of the circuits as you can!
There will be 3 different routes or circuits to choose from: 10km for the super fit and sporty; 5km for those who enjoy a good brisk walk; and the 2km walk, specially adapted for children and for disabled participants in wheelchairs.
There is a registration fee for all participants: 10€ for adults if you pre-pay (12€ on the day) and 6€ for children. Obviously, organisers are keen to encourage participants to obtain sponsorship for every kilometre walked; there will be fantastic prizes for the participants who raise the most sponsorship funds!

La Feria Internacional de Los Pueblos
Our neighbouring town of Fuengirola is getting ready to celebrate its “Feria Internacional de Los Pueblos” (International Peoples Fair). This unique event dates back to 1994 and was started as a way to showcase the different customs, folklore, gastronomy and cultural, historic and tourist attractions of the inhabitants of this multicultural town.
As from next Friday the 29th April and up until the 2nd May, visitors and locals alike can head down to the local fair ground in Fuengirola and enjoy the multitude of stands; there are more than 30 different countries represented at the fair!
Visiting the Feria Internacional de Los Pueblos is like travelling around the world in just 4 days! All five senses will be at work as you experience the following:
- The sounds of the traditional music of each culture, played by authentic groups which, in many cases, have actually flown in from their country of origin.
- The amazing smells and aromas from the different food posts where visitors can taste traditional argentinian “parilladas” (barbecues), delicious Moroccan pastries, exotic Asian dishes and traditional foods from around Spain.
- Traditional dances with their typical colourful costumes.
At each stand, visitors to the fair will have the chance to purchase typical products from each represented country and even obtain specific tourist information about the country or area being promoted.
Entrance to the “Feria” is free and we thoroughly recommend you take a trip down to this fascinating fair and enjoy a fun- multicultural- day of music, dancing and delicious food!

Guests who visited Sunset Beach Club last year would have had the chance to experience an evening of magic and illusions at our Moonlight Bar. Every week, the “Urban Magic Show” delighted kids and parents alike.
Well, we’ve got good news for you: This year, Jose Manuel (AKA Jose 13) is back with a new show full of new tricks, illusions and pure magic! Imagine (Name of the new show) has been designed to be highly interactive, aiming to keep the audience involved and on their toes at all times; definitely a fun evening for all the family!
“Imagine” is a free show for all guests of the hotel – non residents are welcome, but will have to pay a small entrance fee – and starts at 10:30pm every Thursday evening.
Stay tuned as I will be posting photos and video footage of the new show in the next few weeks!
