The fun and entertainment of Carnival is about to kick off here on the Costa del Sol.
Carnival season is popular in many of the towns and cities located up and down the coast but in this post, we’re going to focus on two cities: Benalmadena (for obvious reasons) and the amazing Málaga Carnival which is probably the most spectacular and colourful of all!
Although we refer to it as ‘Carnival Week’ it actually goes on for a little longer… 10 days. There are literally hundreds of activities and events taking place during these festivities; below, we’ve highlighted some of the most popular you’ll want to look out for in each of the cities. (more…)

Following the success of the 1st edition of ‘La Cazuela dela Abuela’ (Grandma’s Casserole) in Fuengirola last year, the town hall has decided to organise ‘Part 2’ of this successful gastronomic initiative.
Originally designed to help promote the town’s excellent selection of restaurants – and to help support the restaurant trade in the quieter off-season – this unique event also helps to introduce visitors to more traditional Spanish dishes and stews.
Due to the great success of last year’s event, Grandma’s Casserole has been extended from 10 days to 17 days (from 15th to 3rd March). Both locals and tourists will have more days to sample the delicious and traditional stews and casseroles which will be available in many of the town’s restaurants. A small casserole and a drink (glass of wine, beer or soft drink) will cost just €2 🙂 (more…)

I love heading in to the centre of Málaga with the family and taking a leisurely stroll around the city’s centre and the new ‘Muelle Uno’ waterfront. Although a little cooler in the winter months, it still makes for a fantastic afternoon out! A few days ago we took a drive in to Málaga to experience the impressive and, now famous, Christmas light display and enjoy a quiet drink on the waterfront.
Here’s a summary of our afternoon… in photos!

A beautiful afternoon @muelleuno waterfront

Looks like all who saw in the New Year with us here at Sunset Beach Club had a great time! The restaurant team did a great job decorating the Oasis Restaurant for the occasion and ensuring that all guests had a fantastic New Year’s Eve experience; Shout out to the team in the kitchens who prepared some delicious food for the occasion!
This year we were lucky enough to get Ricky Lavazza to provide the entertainment for the evening and, as usual, he didn’t disappoint…Judging by the photos, there was a fair bit of boogieing going on!
Here’s a few photos taken during the celebrations:
