If you’re a nature lover and enjoy a little peace and tranquillity (at least once in a while) during your holidays, we highly recommend you visit the ‘La Concepcion’ Botanical Gardens in Malaga.
Located just north of the city centre, these vast and spectacular gardens are now part of the ‘Ciudad de Malaga’ (Malaga City) Municipal Botanical Trust.
A walk through its colourful gardens will allow you to enjoy an exquisite collection of plants and flora from all over the world. (more…)
It’s almost a year since we welcomed the ‘Arcos de Buenos Aires’ company to out Moonlight Theatre for their first Tango Show. The success of their unique mix of Tango and Argentinian Folk music (Performed by a string chamber orchestra) brought them back to Sunset Beach Club in May and on the 14th of September they will once again be delighting guests and locals with their new show “La Reina del Plata”.
Artistic Director, Walter O. Tejeda Carranza has once again put together a beautiful show with 16 artists performing on stage, including professional tango dancers and a string chamber orchestra. The link below will take you to the company’s Youtube channel where you’ll find a large selection of video clips that will give you a good idea of what you can expect to see on the evening of the 14th.
The “Reina del Plata” Tango Show will take place in the Moonlight Theatre on Friday 14th September 2012. The show starts at 9pm and tickets are just €10; these can be purchased at the door on the night or at the Sunset Beach Club Leisure desk.

The daily programme of events is extensive; we’ve highlighted some of our favourites below: (more…)
The Spanish Tourist Board (Turespaña) and travel social network Minubehave joined forces to launch a new travel app for iPad, iPhone and iPod: Experience Spain. The new application aims to ‘inspire’ the more that 55 million tourists who visit Spain each year by helping them plan their stay through the recommendations of thousands of other fellow travellers.
There is no doubt that for many travellers, mobile handsets such as smartphones and tablets are slowly substituting more traditional paper based books and guides. Mobile technology will play a significant part in the future of travel and this new application will provide technology buffs with an invaluable travel companion.
A couple of weeks ago we ran a competition on our Facebook page which proved very popular. Fans were asked to come up with a Tag Line for Sunset Beach Club and I’m pleased to say that we got some very good entries; so good, in fact, that we’ve decided to feature them all here is this blog post as a tribute to all those who took the time to enter.
The competition required fans to vote for their favourite entries and the top 3 would go into a final selection with the winner being chosen by our General Manager. (more…)
If you’ve been to Sunset Beach Club in the high season summer months you’ll know we put on some great shows in our Moonlight Theatre.
At least two of the weekly shows are performed by our talented animation team! Not only do they perform in the shows but they are also responsible for all the choreography, costumes, decoration… absolutely everything!
As you can probably imagine,putting each of these shows together requires an enormous amount of work and effort. The animation team spend hours and hours rehearsing and perfecting their shows to ensure that our guests get to see top class performance – judging by the incredible feedback we get, the team have done a great job 🙂
Here´s a short video clip we filmed as the animation team prepared for this summers hit tribute musical: Dirty Dancing.
The town of Ronda is located approximately45 km inland and is undoubtedly one of the most popular and spectacular destinations for tourists who visit the Costa del Sol.
Ronda has much to offer; however, in this post we’ll feature two of its most famous landmarks: The spectacular Gorge and the fabulous Bullring.
As you drive into the town, you’ll make your way over the ‘Puente Nuevo’ (NewBridge) which stretches over the famous Ronda Gorge. Over100 metres deep and 500 metres in length, The Gorge was formed by the Guadalevin river which winds its way through its deep walls.
The Gorge was once the historical divide which separated the old and the new quarters of Ronda. In 1751, architect Jose Martín de Aldehuela began an engineering feat which would take over 40 years to complete and become the iconic monument which today offers stunning panoramic views of Ronda and its surroundings. Apparently, all of the stone blocks used to build the impressive structure were sourced from the river bed at the bottom of the Gorge. (more…)
