This weekend, sailing fans will be able to enjoy the XVIII edition of the Interclub Regatta which will take place in Benalmádena waters this weekend.
Scheduled for the 8th and 9th January, the Regata will congregate approximately 150 sailors who will make up the crews of the 35 yachts competing for the “Accastillage Diffusion Trophy”. As it is one of the classic regattas in the sailing calendar, organizers are expecting competitors from all over Andalucia.
This edition of the Interclub Regatta is organized by the Benalmádena Yacht Club and the Port Authority, with the collaboration of the Spanish Sailing Federation and sponsorship by Accastillage Diffusion nautical shops.
As expected in this type of Regatta, the fleet will be divided into different classes – there are boats ranging from 6 metres to 15 metres in length – with different prizes being awarded to the winner of each class.
Unfortunately, the weather forecast for Benalmadena doesn’t look too good for weekend; we expect rain on Saturday with light winds (7km/h) with conditions improving on Sunday with southerly winds of up to 36km/h which should guarantee a fun day of sailing.
Update: Please note that the Christmas show programmed for Sunday the 19th December has been cancelled. The show on Monday 20th goes ahead as planned.
Christmas is just around the corner and to get us all into the festive spirit, there will be a fantastic christmas Show taking place in our Moonlight Bar the weekend before christmas.
Produced and performed by the team at Entertain in Spain, (they were also responsible for the hugely successful Back to the 40’s show a couple of months ago) the show is the perfect excuse to enjoy a fun evening out with all the family!
You’ll be treated to all your favourite christmas carols, songs and music, all performed by some of the most talented singers and performers on the Coast. The beauty of these shows is that you also have a large screen video show throughout the performance which complements the live singing; it truly is a unique experience and a must see!
During the show’s interval, you be able to sample some warm mince pies and a glass of mulled wine; if you are lucky, you might also win one of the fantastic prizes in the Christmas Charity Raffle!
There will be two showings of the Costa del Sol Christmas Show: The first will be on Sunday the 19th December (Update: the Sunday show has been cancelled) and the second on Monday the 20th December. The shows start at 8pm; tickets are €20 for adults and €12 for children under 12 and Senior Citizens. Please call 655 087 198 or visit www.entertaininspain.com to purchase tickets or for more information about the show.
Don’t forget…..write it down on your calendar; 19th and 20th December at the Moonlight Theatre at Sunset Beach Club Hotel in Benalmadena.
