The Women’s European Cricket Championship: 12 days of Exhilirating Cricket

As the official hotel partner of the European Cricket Network, we’re delighted to welcome them back for the second edition of the successful Women’s European Cricket Championship which will be held at the Cartama Oval from the 9th to the 20th December 2024.

This exciting tournament will follow in its men’s counterpart’s footsteps and be divided into two divisions; the Challenger and Premier. As we experienced with the men’s Championship held in October, this new format will ensure competitive balance and allow all participating teams to show off their skills at the Cartama Oval.

Another unique feature this year is that we’ll have two champions crowned, one for each division.

The teams taking part this year are as follows:

Challenger DivisionPremier Division
SpainEngland XI
AustriaIreland XI
GermanyScotland XI
JerseyNetherlands XI
CzechiaItaly

From the 9th to 15th December we’ll see the Challenger division teams take to the field and we’re hoping to see a repeat of the great cricket experienced last year!

From the 15th to the 20th December Europe’s top cricketing nations take centre stage with the England XI looking to retain their ‘Champions’ status. We’re sure last year’s runners-up, Netherlands XI will have something to say about that!

We look forward to welcoming all the teams to Sunset Beach Club next week and can’t wait to sit back and enjoy some world-class women’s cricket over the next couple of weeks!

Anyone looking to stay at Sunset Beach Club during the tournament can check availability and prices online through our website www.sunsetbeachclub.com.

Fuengirola Fair 2024

The Fuengirola Fair starts on Sunday the 6th October. This is one of the most popular festivities in Andalusia and the highlight of the city’s entertainment calendar.

From the 6th to the 12th October, all who visit Fuengirola are in for a fun time! The ‘Feria del Rosario’ (named after the city’s patron saint) is the perfect opportunity to experience an authentic taste of Spanish culture.

During the day you can visit many of the different ‘casetas’ where your flamenco dancing skills will be put to the test! Alternatively, you can just sample some of the delicious food and drinks on offer; we recommend you try the typical Andalucian feria drink called a ‘rebujito’ a refreshing mix of manzanilla (or fino) wine, lemonade and lots of ice.
