Active Sound Productions, who specialise in the organisation of musical events on the Costa del Sol, will present a night of the very best Blues music at Sunset Beach Club’s Moonlight Cabaret Bar on Saturday the 2nd October.
With performances from Steve Payne(UK) and the Johan Wahlstrom Band(Sweden), the evening promises some of the best of the Blues.
A little about the musicians….
Steve Payne is a composer, singer and producer who has been described as “one of the UK’s finest guitarists”. Calm but passionate, with a distinct melodic voice and unique way of playing the guitar Steve draws energy from the crowd creating a vibrant atmosphere anywhere he performs.
The Johan Wahlstrom Band is made up by some of the members of famous Swedish group “Stockholm Stoner” and prestigious local musicians such as Jazz singer Elena Salguero and pianist Gabriel Zenni. Half of the group’s repertoire is written by Johan Wahlstrom himself and the others are versions of classic tracks.
The show starts at 10:00pm and tickets are available at the El Corte Inglés stores. (A bargain at €10) 🙂
For more information about the event, please contact Miguel Corchón at Active Sound Productions on 696 538 530.
I’m always on the lookout for great tips and tricks related to travel and holidays. One of the biggest nightmares we suffer when we have to get on an plane is the ritual of packing!
Whether for business or pleasure, strict – and over the top – policies by airlines around the world mean that packing your bags efficiently has become synonimous with saving money! Every extra piece of luggage and every extra Kilogram costs a fortune (Up to 15 Euros per Kilo!!!).
Well, I might just have the solution to all your packing problems…. I found this video online whilst reading the Huffington Post Travel Blog (a great read if you are interested in travel) and just had to embed the video on our Blog so that our guests could view it.
This guy is the “master” of packing! I know a couple of colleagues in our commercial department who will happily use some of the tips oin the video for when they next travel abroad for an exhibition!
Next Monday the 20th September, guests and visitors can enjoy an evening of classic songs and dancing from the 1940’s in our Cabaret Moonlight Bar.
Produced by Entertain in Spain’s Trevor Brooks, the show includes performances by several artists and also incorporates the use of a large video screen with original film clips and sounds of the times. Sing along to classics like We’ll Meet Again, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Love Letters and more…..
For more information on the artists, please visit Entertain in Spain’s Website at www.entertaininspain.com
The show starts at 9.00pm and tickets are available through the Entertain in Spain Website – Price is €20 for adults and €10 for OAP’s and children.
This years edition of the National and European Ploughing Championship will be held from the 21st to the 23rd September in the town of Athy, Co Kildare. (more…)
Every summer, the entertainment team prepares a full programme of activities for children aged 5 to 12. The highlight of these activities has to be the popular Pirate’s Day! A full day of fun which we’ve summed up in this short video….
Look out of your window; is it rainy and miserable? Fancy a little fun in the sun? It’s easy: log on to one of the budget airline websites and grab a cheap flight to Málaga. Actually, you might want to check on our website first – just to make sure we have availability! Once you’ve got your flight and have booked accommodation (we’ve got some fantastic winter offers for seniors) we’ll take care of the rest!
Here’s 5 suggestions on what to do during your winter break at Sunset:
A game of Darts
1) First of all, get those bags unpacked and head straight down to our fantastic landscaped pool area. Hopefully the sun will be shining – we do have over 300 days of sunshine a year – and you can enjoy a quiet drink whilst soaking up some of our Mediterranean sun. Feeling relaxed? Good….now its time to join in some fun activities. Our in house entertainment team organise a wide range of activities over the winter months: Exercise classes, petanca, darts, bingo, bridge; you can even learnhow to make a traditional Spanish paella at one of our cooking lessons!
2) Game of Golf or some pampering at our “Thalgo” beauty salon? Decisions, decisions…….. If you choose to play golf, just head up to our Golf and Leisure desk on the 6th floor and they will take care of everything for you. You’ve got a choice of the top courses on the Coast to choose from and you can purchase tee times at discounted rates. If a little pampering is more to your liking, you can indulge in some fantastic treatments in our onsite beauty salon. Marine Algae envelopment for anyone? (more…)
If you have been to the Sea Life Aquarium in Benalmadena Marina, you will have had the chance to meet one of their star attractions: a giant pacific octopus weighing in at an amazing 15 kilograms! I actually took my family a couple of weeks ago and I have to say that this creature is impressive; every time it moved around the tank, water spilled out over the top –that’s how big this thing is!
Anyway, I digress…… Apparently, last weekend, the octopus in question laid thousands of eggs; she’s going to be a busy mum over the next few weeks as she protects the eggs and keeps them oxygenated until they hatch. Once they hatch, the babies which will measure between 3 and 5 millimetres will be kept in quarantine so that keepers at the aquarium can feed them, thereby, increasing survival rates.
Here’s an interesting fact: the giant pacific octopus is the largest of its species; the largest specimen found measured 9 metres and weighed a staggering 272 Kilos! No messing with him! Wow, it’s like something out of a Jules Verne novel.
The octopus is considered a highly intelligent creature with a great capacity for learning; they have been known to take tops off containers, make their way out of man-made labyrinths and, of course, predict football results!!!! 😉
The guys that look after weddings and banquets have a busy week ahead of them……we’ve got four weddings at the hotel. The smallest is for only 6 people but the largest is for 100 guests! That’s a lot of food and drink!
Congratulations to all the brides & grooms!

For two weekends in September, the white village of Guaro becomes the centre of andalusi music and culture. Every year, this traditional village hosts one the most popular and entertaining festivals of the summer: The Festival of the Luna Mora.
The streets of the “Old Town” come to life with musicians, dancers and artists, allowing visitors to travel back in time (almost 5 centuries) and experience traditional Andalusi culture. (more…)
It’s that time of year again! Summer is nearing its end and our commercial team are getting ready for another season of Exhibitions throughout Europe.
Next Friday the 3rd September, Annemie and Melissa will be packing their bags and heading off to Dublin for the Wedding & Honeymoon Show at the RDS in Dublin. They’ll have a busy weekend promoting our fantastic wedding packages at the show, but will hopefully have a little free time to see the sights of Dublin!
Open to the public – albeit for a small entrance fee – the show opens on Saturday morning (11.30am). Visitors will have access to almost 200 professionals dedicated to help future brides and grooms prepare for their special day.
If you are planning to attend the show or are in the area, please stop by and say Hi to Annemie and Melissa! And whilst you are there, you can enter the prize draw for a romantic holiday at Sunset Beach Club; 3 nights accommodation including breakfast and a romantic meal for two in our fabulous Oasis restaurant……sounds good doesn’t it?
