Panos Zambetakis, one of the contestants of last year’s Irish edition of hit TV show, The Apprentice, recently enjoyed a relaxing week’s holiday at Sunset Beach Club.
Panos won the holiday after viewers voted for him in the “No Nonsense” moments, a segment of the show sponsored by FBD’s No Nonsense Insurance.
During his holiday, Panos was kind enough to meet up with Debbie Wallace and Ann Webb for a quick chat and a few photos! Apparently he had a fantastic time and could not speak highly enough about the staff and facilities here at Sunset Beach Club 🙂
“Thanks so much for everything you did for me, it was an amazing week and definitely i’ll be back!” Panos
You’re more than welcome Panos…we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Last month, the Spanish Tourist Board (Turespaña) launched 13 new videos on their Youtube channel.
These impressive videos all form part of the new “Spain Timelapse Series”. They have been produced using a special photographic technique called “Timelapse” which consists in taking photos (they took over 300,000 photos to prepare the 13 videos in the series) at a much lower speed than that of reproduction. This means that when the whole sequence of photos is reproduced, reality seems to have been fast forwarded, creating a video with somewhat peculiar and “different” effects.
I’ve embedded one of the videos below which shows the beautiful area of Andalucia, albeit from a more modern and innovative point of view.
The video showcases the regions cultural attractions, it’s most emblematic cities, the wide choice of hotels and accommodation – from charming rural hotels in the interior to 5 star wonders on the shores of the Mediterranean – and, of course, the wide range of entertainment and services that visitors can enjoy in this wonderful part of Spain.
For the first time in history, Benalmadena has received four awards for the quality of its beaches; it is now the municipality with the most Blue Flags on the Costa del Sol!
For those of you who may be unaware of what this means, the Blue Flag is awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). It is voluntary eco-label which is awarded to over 3450 beaches and marinas in 41 countries around the world.
The award of a Blue Flag beach is based on compliance with 32 strict criteria covering the following aspects: (more…)
James Bond fans, or to be more precise, fans of the music from James Bond films, are in for a real treat this weekend. On Saturday evening (28th May) Trevor Brooks and his team at Entertain in Spain will be presenting their latest production which pays tribute to songs from all the favourite James Bond films.
Entertain in Spain put on two shows last year in our Moonlight Theatre and both were extremely popular: The “Back to the 40’s” show and “The Christmas Show”. This new show will be no exception with its state of the art visual effects and video, as well as some of the Coast’s most talented singers and performers.
The show starts at 8:30pm (we recommend you get there early to get a good seat) Tickets are 15€ for adults and 10€ for children and can be purchased at the Sunset Beach Club Leisure Desk or online at www.entertaininspain.es.
Tomorrow evening (Tuesday 24th May), hotel guests can enjoy our New Sundowner Party; a fantastic evening with BBQ and live music at our new beach side venue, Luna Beach Club – (non residents also welcome!) (more…)
Last Sunday morning, the promenade in front of Sunset Beach Club was a busy hive of activity; hundreds of people (800) had gathered for the 2011 edition of the Cudeca Walkathon.
Every year, this popular event attracts large numbers of local residents, eager to help raise money for this much-needed charity!
Apart from the walking, there were plenty of fun activities organised for all participants: games for children, several large paellas, live music, to name but a few!
I decided to head down to the promenade at 10:30am – just before the first group of walkers set off on their 10 km route – to take some photos. (more…)
